Re: Pelargoniums

Re: Pelargoniums

I’ve noticed seed pods recently and for the first time today seeds on my p. appendiculatum.

1. They look stunning.
2. Will I only get one seed per pod?
3. Would anyone be interested in some seed if I manage to collect more than one?

Re: Gymno - best value for beginners?

I’ve always been put off gymnos by those horrible coloured monstrosities you see grafted on hylocereus. I also think mihanovichii is pretty ugly. However, I picked up a couple of those plants last year (armatum and eytianum), which has got me a bit more interested. I’ve now got 10 or so, many of wh...

Re: Is this discolouration caused by a fungus?

Is it just on one side or on both?

Re: A friend calls this the spikey cucumber

Very nice.

I’ve got a few echinocereus in bud at the moment- looking forward to seeing the flowers!

Re: First Pterocactus of the year

Thanks Ray, really appreciated.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year

Ray, Ralph (or anyone in fact) - I don’t have loads to trade but if you ever want to swap any bits of pteros I’d be more than happy to oblige. I’m looking for gonjianii and hickenii particularly but always happy to pick up something else I don’t have.
