Sardines

Post by Paul D »

I had a lot of Aylostera albiareolata seedlings a year ago. After potting up a few dozen I just stuck all the waifs and strays into a seed tray. They seem to be happy enough, now jammed in together like a tin of sardines! I guess I will need to give them each a bit more room soon.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
nice though
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.

Are they all uniform body-wise? The flowers are certainly all the same!

And to think people buy cacti with pathetic paper flowers glued on.
