Re: First Gasteria flower of the year
Nice one. Hope you'll post when it's fully opened
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.

Lovely little plant!
I've got a couple in flower at the moment - will take some photos if I remember...

Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

Named for the village of Petham just outside Canterbury, fascinating facts from one of Tony's talks a good few years ago.

Re: First Gasteria flower of the year
A couple of plants I have in flower at the moment - I've seen a few more thinking about it as well...
- I have this labelled as Gasteria brachyphylla var. brachyphylla, although I'm not sure on this.
- Gasteria glomerata - actually two plants in one pot that have subsequently sent out countless offsets over the last couple of years.

Re: First Gasteria flower of the year
Flowering season in my greenhouse has begun. Most of
the Gasterias started to grow and have flower buds already.
