Very nice outdoor plants! Liking the flowers!

[Mark]

Thanks Eutow_Intermedium! Yes the plants are outside in the ground. There is still tons of space so I need to get more plants!

The three flowering plants are Echinocactus horizonthalonius. They smell great!


Thanks Gemhunter!

Nice flowers Mark......being on the ground, do you water you plants or just let it be like in the wild habitat?

[Mark]

Hey Hendry, I normally don't water my plants. Maybe only in the spring and then I let nature do the rest. I try to grow them as if they were in the wild.

A Stapelia something getting ready. I think it may need water. I also had a Hoodia Gordonii open some buds. I need to find the pics.





And a gang of Pachys, and an Adenium.

Promising buds on Stapelia, Mark
Curious to see the flowers when they bloom...

For adenium, is the growing point dead as I see some offsets come out from the stem?

Cheers

Hey Hendry, I'm not to sure what happened with the adenium. The root/ caudex is firm and I repotted it a couple of weeks ago and saw new roots. It's weird cause the stem is bent in a way. And there was a small stem coming but it died back. I'll try to get a better picture so you can see what I mean.

It should be OK Mark if you saw new roots, maybe it bent after you repotted it as I believe you didnt water it for sometime. Now you have some branches adenium instead of tower adenium.

Happy growing

Beautiful Horizonthalonius flowers,so bright!

[Mark]

Thanks Alber! They are really great!


I forgot these!!


Ferocactus wislizeni.







These can't seem to stay up. I think they got to much rain.




This guy is cracking all over. I hope it doesn't split anymore.



Tons more buds on here.



This guy expanded with all the rain.




Mark

[Alber khan]

Do you think ferocactus wislizeni is self-fertle or not?Have been wondering about this.

[hendryterok]

Nice Feros and their flowers for sure..Mark..........
