Unexpected winter colour

Post by iann »

My Echeverias don't normally flower in January. I think the very mild December may have helped to produce these stumpy flowers.

This is a little bit more expected. A few Eriosyce species will flower right through winter, given a little water, although this one usually runs out of steam, or water, or warmth, by January/

Are you thinking of putting the photo in the monthly competition?
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
