First seeds are up!
Titanopsis yesterday after 4 days, today there are Oreocereus (after 8 days), Yungasocereus and Peniocerus (both 9 days) and Euphorbia (5 days). Should be the start of a rush!

My first seeds are also up, Trichocereus hybrids from a well known German ebayer. 4 days from sowing. Usually astrophytum are first, but I’ve not sown any of them this year.

I've got seeds up in all pots bar two sown so far. Just waiting for hopefully some BCSS seeds and another small (ish) order from Koehres to arrive and get sown.

Terrible picture as I had to crop it a lot but there's a tiny green radicle ( I assume) growing out of the end. Just the lift I needed today.

I got them from Mark Davies seeds - I'd recommend ordering them through his eBay account as he appears to have issues with his website. I have also asked for some in the BCSS seedlist as I thought these weren't germinating! Should have been more patient but it just means I'll have more plants to grow and distribute if I get too many! They were put into water on the 13th December, at first on a paper towel but then I flooded them and removed that when some algae started growing. The water they're in is RO water with weak orchid fertiliser in.

I was too late with the BCSS seeds - the Aloe polyphylla had all sold out.
