Hi Diane
Lovely set up, you seem to have so much stuffed in there, the white viccie's looks magnicent it's recovered so well.
In miscellaneous whats the cactus top right ?.
Thats also amazing growth with the geohintonii & aztekium, just show's that own seed & home grown is best, repotting must stunt/slow the growth with some plants, even agaves get stressed & go pink soemtimes.

Re: Diane's Greenhouse
Hi Tina, yes, plants are stuffed in, aren't they? Not much room for new acquisitions, but I try !
The plant you asked about is Neochilenia (now Eriosyce, I know) kraussii, a very old grafted plant, I've had for oooh, 20 years? It was exhibited at the National in '98 I think, and won a place if I remember correctly.

According to number (and size of some) of pants.. your greenhouse is.. 50 x 50 m? Excellent collection indeed.

Re: Diane's Greenhouse
Stunning! I can´t believe you told us the truth about the size of your greenhouse,there is such an amount of beatiful plants that couldn´t be stuffed into a 10m2 greenhouse! Anyway,thank you for letting us see so many nice plants
Thord. All kinds of smallgrowing cacti.

Re: Diane's Greenhouse
Exellent plant collection Diane, especially the arios. I suppose this question has been asked before, but is your ario compost some thing special. Cheers Eric.

Re: Diane's Greenhouse
Still amazed at how much people get in their greenhouses!
Diane, the Mamm plumosa you sent, is it normal for it to start budding now? There are 2 flower buds showing, oh and I think my daughter has decided to claim it for herself but I don't mind looking after it

Re: Diane's Greenhouse
Hi Sue, yes quite normal! this is one of the few winter flowering Mamms, I have the normal white flowered one in flower at the moment. The one I sent you is the pink flowered form, and a couple I still have are budding up as well.
