Almost a full house

Post by MikeDom »

Just a couple of heads that haven’t got flowers. A run of the mill ordinary Lophophora Williamsii but it’s the first year some of the biggest heads have produced triple flowers.

Thank you for the kind comments. I bought it as a small 2cm plant at a Bristol show in 1986, so it’s at least 35 years old. It is neglected, sitting in the corner of the greenhouse and getting a watering probably once a month, and over the past few years it is adding on more than an inch in diameter a year. The two biggest heads are now close to 4 inches in diameter so no idea what size they will end up eventually.

Wow, what are you watering it with Mike, Creamola Foam? Well it's certainly looking really good with your cultivation. A very impressive plant 👍
