Re: March 2024 Marvellous Mesembs

Lithops. Taken today in the greenhouse with sun shining through. It has not been color touched just re sized a little. I dont' know why the blue tinge has appeared. Maybe something to do with the polycarbonate sheet on the inside of the greenhouse glass.

Re: Look what these caught.2023 trawl.

Can someone please explain the point of catching and killing harmless insects? Mealy bugs maybe so, but all others - no.

Re: Aloe safari sunrise

Thanks. I think the plant benefited from me removing all the offsets and there was loads. I potted some up and gave them away at branch meeting. The remainder got binned, no room. The one you see and the other don't have any offsets, any that appears will be removed.
