Lobivia Leucomalla and more in bloom

Post by sundanz »

This is a first time bloomer for me with 2 beautiful yellow flowers and more to come. The plant itself is not much to look at but the flowers are very pretty.

I completely agree, actually I don't know a Lobivia flower that isn't beautiful.
it's a very interesting genus, so much diversity in form, spination and flowers!

by the way, the other flowers are also very lovely!
I have one year old seedlings of G. doppianum, can't wait

Hi, Karin...Very nice showing of blooms. I agree about the leucomalla. I bought one last year at Lowe's that was loaded with buds and they burst into a dazzling display. I hope this winter didn't kill it in the GH. It's still "standing" but doesn't show much yet. From last year:

Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
