This is a pic of most of my cacti/succulents, couldnt get a better angle, my pomegranate bush is in the way. I also really need a better camera, all my pics are blurry

my echinopsis flowers today and yesterday, just excuse the carpet. i brought it in the house so the flowers might last longer.

a puya mirabilis, not really a cacti or succelent, its a bromeliad, but its spiky and looks like an agave (near enough)

..and the odd green flowers on the mirabilis, near the top of a 2 foot flower spike.

Hi Karen,

Nice plants! How big is the Puya? I've got a few Puyas but no flowers to date.

Spendid flowers, there, Karen!

[Karen-L]

the stem is about 2 or 3 inches thick and about 4 inches high, the leaf spread is around 18 inches or so. i have this plant and one other a bit smaller, which suffered overwinter in the greenhouse becuase i forgot to water it so it doesn't have a flower yet. they may be around 4 or 5 years old i think, grew them from seed.

They grow and flower pretty fast then Karen. Mine are still small in comparison, biggest probably 6" across.
