One of my few successful hybrids, I just love the frosty windows and way the chlorophyll areas form a lacy pattern over the windows.

A very pretty one. How old is this plant, and a cross with which species?

Hi all
well for me the winner was Mammillaria geminispina by jfabiao.
Quite surprising as it's a Cactus & mammilaria, must admit I was tempted by several others but this plant seems to glow.
So all your's now

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

It is was a show it would have then been between the Diosorea - stunning , Bills haworthia & the neat flowers of phils but i think Eve's dioscorea would have been highly commended ( or stolen :lol: ), must get one of these.

Tina, my D. sylvatica is very happy with your comment :grin: and was choosen among douzens of seedlings for it's peculiar shape. So you have only to find a similar one and with your expert cultivation it will only take half of my some 25 years to reach that size :lol:

Yours was a very interesting theme, some beautiful plants posted but a shame that there where not so many entries :sad:

made it easier for me, Dioscorea aren't often for sale in the Uk except d.elephantipes. I do have seedlings of other dioscorea but they aren't even flashing there codexes yet, I sould have got that one at ELK the other year :sad: . Teach me to dither when you are around. Are you going this year ?.
