Re: my collection so far....
More flowers. Its raining today, surprisingly welcomed need to collect plenty of water. I have had to use tap water on the last two waterings. Another turbinicarpus seedling today and a l.williamsii has germinated and spreading its roots looking for water, they are quite amazing at this piont of growth.

Re: my collection so far....
I bought a smaller Thelocactus Bicolor from B&Q earlier this year.
I thought it will soon die being that I found it at B&Q. But blow me down it's survived and not only that, thrived.
Grown, and wait for it .
Flowered non stop, one flower at a time.
Frankly i'm blown away . .

Re: my collection so far....
Very nice
Had a large plant of this at Nash's Garden in the conservatory for years. It offsetted profusely
Still have one of the pups present, but most are in a small block in square pots in the Allotment Greenhouse.
Always a good plant .

Re: my collection so far....

Re: my collection so far....
Total update. I have had to repot my lophs. The shelve was not handling the weight of the big pots and needed space too.

I think that Ariocarpus is a hybrid - I have a few like that - of uncertain parentage, that I would be prepared to give away for postage only.adetheproducer wrote:Hear is the latest addition to my collect received in the post this morning.
