Re: T bonnieae
A fantastic display Mike I had a plant for 10 years before losing it last year. It never flowered and I'm on the hunt for a replacement

Re: T bonnieae
Agreed .... superb
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.

Re: T bonnieae
What is the secret to flowering these, Mike? I have four plants happily growing, but never putting on buds...

Re: T bonnieae
Hello Christian
I suspect the early and plentiful sunshine worked wonders for it this year. Most years it only manages one or two flowers. I give it maximum light (but I find it can scorch) and a cool winter rest like other plants from this altitude.

Re: T bonnieae
Thanks, Mike! They get sun and a cold winter rest here, so I shall be patient... Your plant certainly put on a beautiful show for you!
