Aloe longistyla
This plant has always been reliably self-compatible with me, which I am told is unusual. I have a fair few seedlings from it and didn't even bother collecting last year's seeds - you can see a couple of them lodged in the base of that Euphorbia on the left! This year I will donate them to the BCSS.

Re: Cracker

Re: The first day of meteorological spring approaches
I am thinking carefully about watering the early starters like Austrocactus and Pterocactus but I would be happier with a week of brighter weather to raise daytime temps under glass. We have only had odd days of sun in feb. Oddly mostly at weekends for a change.
