I can't recall ever seeing a article on these. Anybody else grow them? I have brachypetalus which has rather attractive orange flowers.

Re: Corryocactus Solved
[size=medium]Hi Mike,
I've grown one species, C. ayopayanus from the ISI (ISI 89-3), for 17 years. When I've repotted it it sends out quite fast growing stems but I've never got it to flower. Having said that, the flowers aren't apparently a lot to write home about. Not sure why I'm persevering here!!!!!!!!!![/size]

Re: Corryocactus
Colin, it's like so many of our plants - we always think that we are going to beat them and hold on to them for far too long. Every year I sort of stock take, look at the collection and think "do I really love you?" And if I don't - they go and make room for something else.
Mike.
