2012 - You've shown me yours...
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:15 pm
So, following my first 'proper' winter (and by proper, I mean that I followed the guidelines re watering, dormancy and light, temps have been a bit hit and miss though) despite all attempts to send them to sleep, I have a few casualties By no means major issues, as I am sure that with a little gentle(?) pruning they will regain all, that has been lost. But, you live and learn and just keep growing
However, several species of seedlings have survived my poor facilities and made it to 'spring' (well ish lol) without any damage Seedling pics to follow but first, I thought I would show off my triumph ( you wouldn't know that this is a relatively new hobby). These plants have been with me over a year and the first was in flower when it arrived, but these are my first flower, from a plant in my care for this length of time!
Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus
Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus v rubriflora - If you look very carefully at the middle (maybe with a magnifying glass ) I believe I can see the very tip of a bud forming...
Ah, the joys of spring!!
