Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis

Very nice Terry,. Is there any way you could incorporate the delightful and distinctive perfume within the video? :grin: The smell always reminds me of Germoline.

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis

Well done Terry and that played fine from the site unlike the last one - bizarre! Do you know how old the plant is and have you tried crossing it with anything??? Plant came to me in 2019 as one of two and I think was at least 2 years old then. Tried to cross it ... unsuccessfully .... several time...

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis

I take it that 20 downloads means that there's an interest in this kind of video.

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis

Fascinating, and a lot of work I would imagine. I learned a great deal whilst making it, both the shooting of the material and in the editing, which was a real hard graft to save the project from failure. It took longer to process up than to film, and the previous successes and failures have been f...
