I live in the netherlands so I am not really familiar with your kind of conditions, on hot days they may be a bit like the conditions in japan. that may especially be the case because I keep most of my cacti in my greenhouse where it can get very hot. I use a special kind of paint that blocks a good...

lovely, I hope you still have some room, your plants look very healthy and most of them will grow a lot bigger in a relatively short amount of time

hello Harald, there is no such thing as a dumb question I use a small boxcutter and a chopstick to make room for navigating it, that's all no flowers today, I have made new benches in my greenhouse because the old material was all crooked and crumbling I don't know what this material is called in en...

rebutia padcayensis HE276/8



rebutia margarethae RH1369



weingartia cintia (cintia knizei)

hello Nic, it seems your collection is growing rapidly!
I do have a question about that G. mihanovichii though, was it grafted when you bought it?
it seems to be one of the forms lacking chlorophyl, which means it will probably not survive on its own roots...

indeed, that does sound a bit silly to me, I wouldn't try my luck with the other Lophophoras, the american justice system is equally notorious of course you of all people know that, having worked at customs or are you still working there? here it is the other way around, it is almost absolutely forb...

Thanks Alexander, here's some more Rebutia marsoneri WR818, its flower bases too deeply entrenched to cut one out http://imgur.com/oB3R4VC.jpg Reicheocactus (Lobivia) famatimensis http://imgur.com/i0CoZCH.jpg http://imgur.com/NJonLLU.jpg Weingartia westii fma. camargo http://imgur.com/9ugSW4o.jpg ht...

lovely plants and flowers Harald! I especially love the show that E. eyriesii is putting on, a similar flower display ignited my cactus fever years ago

Thanks Harald, I have made a habit of photographing floral cuts for myself to study. Then I figured it is a good bit of extra information as well for others, flowers can be very defining sometimes. I won't be doing it on every picture though, in the last few years I have specialized in the high ande...

and some more

Echinocereus viridiflorus



Aylostera (Mediolobivia) canacruzensis WR642

it also prevents moisture evaporation, useful in the summer and it prevents the growth of algae and such on another note, there ARE soil toppings available in your region!
