Beat that!

Post by Diane »

I've got to confess, this is my pride and joy (well one of them!). Escobaria nelliae or Coryphantha minima, take your pick! I grew it from seed oooh, many years ago, and it always puts on a good show.

Hi Diane, you have every right to consider it your pride and joy, it's fantastic, I wish I could grow things like that.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
