Wow, that Pereskia is wonderful. I had one but it died. I'm not sure it was weberiana though. Is yours in a pot? In sun?

Thanks!
It's in a pot for now, as it was only rooted this past Spring. My plan is to keep it in a pot until after the last freeze this coming winter, then plant out.
Right now, it is in filtered shade.
Now I hope my other Pereskia's will follow suit!!

Keep us posted! I'll have to try another one. I had mine in sun. Bad move!

Will do!
I also have a couple Pereskia quisqueyana potted up from earlier this year doing well, and Pereskia grandifolia that is in-ground, but can't seem to grow much because the ants/crickets enjoy them. Also have Pereskopsis spathulata doing well in-ground for over 2 years, and newly acquired Pereskiopsis diguetii in ground.

p.s. - great to finally meet you last night at the DBG!!

I think mine was P. diguetii. Those darn ants and crickets drive me crazy.

Yes, it was great to meet you also. Boy, you sure know a lot about various cacti--even the Latin names! I remember you sent me Fouquieria seed twice, but I could never get it to sprout.

Huh! I have never seen ants eat flowers before, fruits and seeds yes, but flowers? Those things must be starving!

Im diggin the Arrojadoa as well.

Unfortunately I've seen it, and have it happening right now. Munching straight through the flowers on my outdoors M. mystax

Wow, I guess those ants are truly everywhere ... even in Australia!

That's a great flower. Love the pink stigma!
