Copiapoa

Post by Benjy »

Its always nice to see the non soft bodied Copiapoa in flower, probably because the the soft bodied species just keep churning them out all year :)
Some cinerea in flower yesterday.

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.

Great plants, Benjy! I find my old C. cinerea rather reluctant to flower (seed grown, about 50 years old).

All great looking plants. That middle one is classic.
It’s so crazy that here in the US, California especially, those 3 total $3000 worth of cacti. I don’t think that can persist.
But they’re just such amazing little devils.
