I have gymno HU79- was told its multiflorum but a quick google says it might be horstii, the chap who gave me my plant had one that was football size, welcome to an offset.

Thanks for the offer Tina but I doubt that a Brazilian species would last long in my unheated greenhouse.

The Matelea cyclophylla has just sprouted thankfully, I was getting worried about it.

I have grown this under cold glass for a few years now - not sure if older plants need more warmth, but the smaller ones seem fine with this.

I wont pretend this is a seedling from your seed, Nick!
Yours was labelled monvillei...

I have a G. sutterianum ( G. capillaense var. sutterianum ) that size, single head which draws down into the gravel in winter and only shows its full size after it has been watered twice .
