Re: Huernia barbata
That's a nice Huernia Mike. Am I right in thinking that it looks like some of the tips on the left may be dying back? I have the same thing on some of my Huernias occasionally. Do you think that this is just part of the natural ageing process or does it mean that the plants growing conditions are not right in some way?
Cheers

Re: Huernia barbata
It probably is Purzo but that's because circumstances meant my collection had to be housed elsewhere for 4 months without attention whilst I moved house.

Re: Huernia barbata
Huernia time is arriving! I'll add my Huernia plowesii to your thread Mike, if that's OK - this is a small plant acquired last year, super flower!

Re: Huernia barbata
Plowesii is a beauty alright. My plant of that got too big so I've broken it up to start again.
I've also changed the title to Huernia flowers so we can get some more in this thread.

Re: Huernia flowers
Huernia sp. Saudi - Arabia, Collette 7828. Very reliable. For the moment!

Re: Huernia flowers
That's beautiful, Martyn!
A few more from me - the rather plain flower of H. primulina:
H. kennedyana, a favourite and easy to grow:
and H. pillansii trying to hide:

Re: Huernia flowers
nice flowers for sure. Having not grown or had huernia before I do like the upright growing types (or are they all upright growing types - not found too much as yet on the t'internet), so if anyone has either any small plants or cuttings they would like to sell me them feel free to pm me - thanks team

Re: Huernia flowers
Huernia hystrix. Common but lovely. A friend of mine reckons it looks like a Cossacks hat!
