Out of fashion?
Very few posts on here and hardly any on the main board.

Definitely not, it's just their flowers are nothing to show off on the forum

Indeed. Another Echinopsis flower and I may stab myself in the eye with an Echinopsis spine.

Re: Out of fashion?
Indeed, if it is flowers you want - to compete with those of Echinopsis - the erstwhile Aloe sub-section Curviflorae (better known these days of course as Genus GASTERIA) has super flowers (even if Stuart has the habit of cutting them off in their prime!).

I’d like to think they compete Tony but you are of course biased!

Re: Out of fashion?
Some years ago I posted a trip round my Aloes from my old collection and there was a lot of interest.
For some time now I have been contemplating repeating it for my present collection but I’m just not convinced there is that much interest these days.
There have been just 7 posts on here this year. No idea about the main board.

As a poster of the Echinopsis flowers ... sorry .... I'm not intending to offend. More flowers tomorrow .... and the spines are in the post .... gratis.Herts Mike wrote: ↑Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:56 pm Indeed. Another Echinopsis flower and I may stab myself in the eye with an Echinopsis spine.
But seriously .... I grow Haworthia too. It's just that I don't photograph them as often. I'll consider your post as an incentive to right this matter ..... ASAP.
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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
