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

Re: March Your Favourite plant & what features make it so
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

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 ), must get one of these.

Re: March Your Favourite plant & what features make it so
Tina, my D. sylvatica is very happy with your comment 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
Yours was a very interesting theme, some beautiful plants posted but a shame that there where not so many entries

Re: March Your Favourite plant & what features make it so

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 . Teach me to dither when you are around. Are you going this year ?.shame that there where not so many entries
