Re: July 2013 - Genus of the Month - Echinocactus
Hi, All.
15 years I have been growing this plant from seed and it flowered in the month of the Plant of the month month.
How clever is that.

Good timing! Can we have Saguaro plant of the month and see if the same thing happens?Agavegeoff wrote:Hi, All.

Has everyone melted or do they not grow this small but interesting genus?
E. polycephalus, wet and dry. Photos from last year, I'm afraid. This year's seem to be too big for the forum.

That's huge! I prefer the little ones. E. grusonii is just a Ferocactus with glued-on Echinocactus flowers anyway
