Airampoas

Post by RAYWOODBRIDGE »

The other day I said to Mike P my Airampoas/Tunillas were about a week behind his with buds not flowers , well even on a dull day like today.
Some have made the effort.

Hi Ralph; sorry about that, should have labelled them on the photos, the middle one with the bright flowers is A. microdisca. this clone has flowers that opened, very deep orange/Red, then today they are orange, tomorrow they will be orange/yellow the extra buds have not opened with it being very dull today otherwise I would have taken a photo of the plant while it was multicoloured.
Just for the record the top plant ( yellow flowers ) is A. armata, and the bottom photo is A. chilensis with the dark chocolate spines and has a Micheal Kiessling ref no. MK 374
