Re: Pelargoniums
Just close the seed pod with some tape, to prevent the seeds from flying out before you have time to harvest them when the seed pods are ripe.

I never knew Sulcorebutia's were capable of destroying a pot and I was impressed the pot got really thorn apart completely. So I award the winning golden medal to MatDz...!

April 2024 - Bursting out of the pot
Thanking el48tel for the honour of winning the March 2024 Marvellous Mesembs photo competition. I do like tuberous roots. The bigger the better (and that is mainly the reason I don't like grafting much...). Let's go on to pictures of roots bursting out of their pots. Roots pooking through the holes ...

Re: Amazing what you find when Spring Cleaning - unusual hybrid
Interesting!
Let's see if mine will flower at the same time this summer, and I will try to get the same result.

Re: Chinese National Botanic Garden in Beijing

Re: First flowers of the year
Mine are in bud too. Let's see if they can beat Mammillaria henandezii, which have been in bud since November and still haven't flowered. I do have plants in flower throughout the year, so there is no real battle for first flower. That is the advantage of having winter active plants in your greenhou...
