Hi all,
my seed requests from the seedpool arrived today. Although they may not be insiring to all members, it is my first attempt at growing succulent plants from seed. The seed that I received from Chris are; three varieties of Sedum, (acre"Oktoberfest"), (selkianum(ech) "Goldikocks") and (hybridium"Czar's Gold"). As soon as I have something to report, progress wise, I will send report.
Many thanks for the prompot delivery Chris.
Best regards to all Barry

I note with interest that Nick has donated some "own seed" of Carnegia gigantea !

This I find quite impressive as if this is a flowering plant of this species in the UK it may well be the only one !

Nick if you are on the forum I would love to know more ???

Hi Martin,
The note on the entry on the file, says "Original seed from plant outside Organ Pipe Nat. Mon", so I probably should not have used own seed. What I meant was that it didn't come from a recognized seed seller.

Chris is right - much as i would like to boast a plant big enough to bloom (and a big enough g/h to put it in!!), seed is actually from a habitat plant near Phoenix. One of the few seed pods lying around that hadnt been stripped by mice and cactus thrushes.

I guess i might fit a mature saguaro in new g/h when i finally complete it, but it would lack appeal since it would need to be horizontal. Ark ark
