Echinocereus knippelianus
My Echinocereus knippelianus is still quite small and the flowers easily overwhelm it

Re: Echinocereus knippelianus
Such enthusiasm from one so small! Beautiful flowers, and very pale. My plant of this species has darker blooms, generally from low down.

Re: Echinocereus knippelianus
My small specimen has just provided me with 5 blooms. This species seems to be particularly free flowering.

Re: Echinocereus knippelianus
Hi Phil ; nice plant and flowers, mine have only just reappeared from below the gravel. ( They disappear down into the compost each winter, I must keep them a bit too dry )

Re: Echinocereus knippelianus
I thought mine had died last December as it shrunk considerably and went soft. Fortunately I read somewhere that they do this when dry in the winter, so I left it and it is plumper than ever and flowering.RAYWOODBRIDGE wrote:mine have only just reappeared from below the gravel.

Re: Echinocereus knippelianus
The same happened with mine and I was sure it was a gonner but as I tend to water dead plants for some considerable time I was proved wrong. I mentioned it on the forum a year or two ago and that might be where you read it.

I think You're right, Phil. If so, thanks, as I had put mine in the "dead plant" bowl!Phil Hocking wrote:I mentioned it on the forum a year or two ago and that might be where you read it.
