November 2024 - What is flowering for you this November?

Post by Tony R »

The title is self-explanatory. The strange weather we have had recently seems to have promoted unusual flowering this year.

Shame I had been pulling ariocarpus flowers OFF before seeing this thread, supposedly a few sunny days soon so maybe some will pop out.
My only flowers ATM are Euphorbia unispina & othonna cremnophila, neither plant are grown for the flowers.I just wish I could get seed from the unispina- any tips anyone ?
an odd plant that I grow but not sure why as it looks like a bunch of green twigs-Ceropegia dichotoma

Conophytum herreanthus
Faucaria mainly gone too far
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.

Not one I've grown, Tina, but it looks as if yours is a male, in which case you need to find him a female companion.

Hi Mike,
Male flowers first then female, I've got a few flowering but no seed, maybe I need to try sneaking them indoors for extra attention

So it's monoecious not dioecious like many Euphorbias. Do different plants give you male and female flowers at the same time?
