All of my E. mapimensis and rayonesensis plants came originally from CC many years ago and have performed flawlessly.

Thanks everyone!

Grown from seed, sown march 2002. spring 14 026.JPG OK, so its not a succulent. But look what's growing in the shade of the canopy. spring 14 032.JPG And sown on the top dressing in spring 2013 just to see what would happen. spring 14 031.JPG spring 2 036.JPG spring 2 030.JPG spring 2 034.JPG spring...

Winter here is definitely...OVER! :D Some might argue that it never really started. Here is a collection of pix from the last few weeks. camera pix 004.jpg Spring 2014 002.JPG Spring 2014 039.JPG One of my faves!

Agreed.

I think Dan has got them. I think #3 is gymnocalycium schickendantzii
And could the last be echinopsis leucantha?

Flower looks like its an Albuca. There are lots of different species out there and I have seen quite a few hybrids coming out of the local nurseries now as well.

Agree with greenknight.
Possibly mammillaria spinosissima ssp. pilcayensis?

Did you get cuttings of that plant Mike?

Crassula something...
Maybe an etiolated 'spring time'?

Yes, Cynanchum marnierianum would be my guess.

I agree with Saxicola. I used aquarium water to water cactus seedlings for a few years. The water I used never caused bloating or any other negative effects. In fact, I stopped using it because I got far better growth using Acidified water with 1/4 strenght fertilizer added. Why do you need to chang...

Euphorbia milii, possibly one of the many thai hybrids.

I have been using that web site for years, and somehow missed the key.
I still have several other unidentified Rhipsalis I will attempt to use it for.

Thanks everyone!

Definitely not C. kracikii. It looks like henricksonii to me too. If you got it from Woody directly I'll bet it came with some elaborate story relating to the finding and collecting of the species! Apparently it is a SB collection and "you will not find it anywhere else". I will see him ag...

I did look at that one Dan and do agree it looks very similar, even has a tuberous root.
Hopefully they will bloom soon.
