And some unknowns

Post by iann »

Notocactus roseoluteus? Seem to have quite a lot of these. 7cm pot.

And some Gymnos, all about 2cm across, possibly all G. baldianum.

This one has a nice fleshy taproot

This has an identical taproot but curly spines.

This may be the same species but it has several longer fleshy roots rather than a single taproot.

And this one should be good old G. saglionis but isn't as large as I would expect.

I recognise one! I've seen it before somewhere, but I just can't remember where..... ;)

Happy carrier of Forby Disorder - an obsession with Euphorbia obesa.

NB. Anyone failing to provide a sensible name for me to address them will be called, or referred to, as Fred.

Wow Ian, they look great, and what a root! How old are they?

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

They're all 2005 seedlings. The Mammillarias and other Gymnos are much bigger, some have flowered, but I think everyone has seen them before.
