Flowers from sweepings

Post by Paul D »

The reason I am stowed out with young plants I don't know what to do with is that I absolutely flat refuse to put any living thing on the compost heap. I cleaned up the Gymnocalycium bench-end and sowed the seed that was lying there, and here is one of the results. It looks like Gymnocalycium kieslingii, unless anyone can advise differently?
A beautiful sight this morning.

I'm glad that I'm not alone in the world
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.
