Re: Greenhouse flowers
Two thumbs up, Sylvia, although I can't work out why your plants are so much later than mine when you live so far South of me!

Re: Greenhouse flowers
I think it is probably the situation of my greenhouse. It is not in full sun and one side is in shade more, at least that is what I put it down to.

Re: Greenhouse flowers
It has been a good weekend in my, partially shaded, greenhouse too. This view shows 15 Schick hybrids and 2 “multihybrids” in flower this morning.

Re: Greenhouse flowers
Fabulous display Sylvia.
Mine don't flower so many together. They space themselves out over June and July.
Mind you, my favourite 'Nita' which I was lucky enough to get from Mr N in 2016 has already flowered and finished for the fourth consecutive year. Very similar to the one in your fourth photo.

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Greenhouse flowers
Susan Pink is "winding down" following the passing of her husband. She is pink4520 on eBay and sends out excellent plants, but unfortunately eBay bidders send prices to daft levels sometimes. Other good eBay sellers are bilsdalecactus and spikey.yorkie.el48tel wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 12:18 pmI bought some Echinopsis hybrids yesterday, but am looking for some particular Schicks. i have a few, and a few of Brian Fearn's from AbbeyBrook.

Re: Greenhouse flowers
This is the same plant last year (only two flowers this year). Note the drought scorched grass!el48tel wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 12:20 pmWords cannot express the superlatives which are necessary--- that's superbcactusrogerUK wrote: ↑Sun Jun 09, 2019 11:54 am Fabulous display Sylvia.

The paler pair is on day 3, the darker pair on day 1.
When fruit is encouraged, the body tends to retain a bit of a scar, especially if mealy bugs notice the shelter! This year I shall be encouraging two 'pups' to develop.

Absolutely stunning. You've brightened my day!
