Nice work Jane. I've currently only got the species formerly known as Greenovia heading towards flowering (aureum and diplocyclum), none of the others showing signs yet! Are yours kept quite warm over winter?

@edds
I assume pollen has been harvested
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.

Didn't have chance this week Terry and there are a number of other flowers coming through to give some fresher pollen when I might have something else to put it on!

Collect it on cotton bud stick.
Wrap in kitchen foil.
Put in airtight food box
Place in fridge

It will be viable for 4 months

Titanopsis calcarea take two - took "proper" camera into greenhouse and moved plant onto piece of grey card so that I could adjust white balance easily in Lightroom.
