The storms seem to have completely bypassed us. This Orbea melanantha just popped open in the sunshine.

Re: Stapeliad thread
I have at last managed to flower a Pseudolithos migiurtinus!,I’m not sure where I obtained this one, as I’ve had a few over the last few years (which have collapsed on me at various times), but I think I acquired this one at a cactus mart about 4 or 5 years ago. It had to be rerooted at the time, and then was potted in a mineral mix, but never grew very much. I decided to repot a couple of months ago into a slightly richer mix, and it took off, quickly developing buds on two sides, and now in flower.It is a permanent resident in my propagator, so kept nice and warm all the time.
(I now have to coax my seed-grown P. cubiformis to do the same…)

Piaranthus comptus. This is the variety that used to be called barrydalensis.

Re: Stapeliad thread
Congratulations diane, good to flower one of these beasties. Its also nice to know they can be rerooted.
I do like the little 'cilia' that wave about, wrong word as for mammals but you know what I mean.
