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.

Re: Swan Lake #2
Well Echinocereus puchellus ssp. sharpii have gone from ugly duck to white swan.
But E. weinbergii is still a little shy.

Re: Swan Lake #2
Hmm, well, despite the filename, it is E. dasyacanthus. It is possible to grow them cleaner than that, but this one isn't playing ball.RAYWOODBRIDGE wrote: ↑Sun May 22, 2022 10:49 pm Both I think iann !
