Exactly how large is that penultimate specimen? It looks enormous! Beautiful photo.
Thanks

I had never heard of the word "penultimate" before Jane, had to look it up in the dictionary Its always nice to learn new words.
It is a newly rooted cutting of E. trigonus and it is only about 15 cm. high. It really does look giant from that angle, with the help of bright sky in the back. The second one is the same plant but I'd rather call that "An army of alien birds ready to take over the world".

Thanks Tina. I have to admit I didn't have much choice when selecting the plant to work on but I'm lucky to have this beautiful red form of trigonus.

Apologies Devrim. Your English is so good, I forgot you came from Turkey. It means second to last, but I guess you know that now. Sorry again. I can hardly belive the plant is so small. You did wonderfully well with the camera - it certainly fooled me. Still a lovely picture, and a gorgeous colour too.

Nice one Devrim, I love how you made a very nice picture of a more common species!

Smudger, I really envy you for having such awesome plants. And certainly the original owner did an outstanding job on growing them to this stage! To think that last year, I was so proud for acquiring a E. stellispina in a 5,5cm pot!
