Re: April 2023 - April flowers
Took a couple of photographs of my Bulbine mesembryanthoides subsp. mesembryanthoides (Ben in short) with a phone camera, but one actually looks decent, so here it is!

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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

What is a "shawe!" ?

That's... way more than I expected. Thank you.
And this would be my mobile keyboard being (not so) funny and brain just skimming through the written message...
A shave is what it needs!

Great pictures Terry.
Here are some of mine in flower in my office today.
I will tidy the old flowers soon but nice evidence of how many flowers appeared while I was on Easter holidays!

Not Celebrating .... my Celebration is showing no signs despite flowers in abundance last year. But thanks for sharing.

Mine has been enjoying my office temperatures - my Rebutia at home are only just showing some buds.

Re: April 2023 - April flowers
New lens for the extreme macro. Still trying to find the "right" number of stacks. May have erred too far on the side of caution since I came unstuck a few days ago. The standard macro shot was taken with a macro lens and camera I don't usually use for macro work .... just too lazy to change the camera over for the usual one and too lazy to do the calculations and swap the figures in the microprocessor unit .... made a guess .... again on the side of caution. But ...... it worked .... and I got a result .... unlike a few days ago.
