Cacti from Slovenia

[majcka]

Also I really like those heavy duty "carrying" trays! I've never seen those in U.S. It would make my 30 minute plant-carrying to the roadside stand a lot quicker.

Peter, there is a real war over this trays. Fruit sellers throw them away, we (cacti people) collect them all over.

You appear to have Epithelantha in your valdezianus. Is that an Islaya in img_0414? Very nice plant if it is! Everything looks great though.

Hi!

As maja already said, those trays are really handy and if you have the right size of pots, that is ideal for carrying and storing. Well, not in case of romboide pots

Yes, there is Epithelantha sneaking in a pot with Pelecyphora, it loks like it sewed by itself, becouse all years since I had them the pots stays together in a tray. There are also some youngsters in other pots araound there an this year I will have to repot them.

On pic 414 there is Islaya but I don`t know which type. I already have a small one, this one is much bigger

Hello.
Slovenia is calling....
Last days there was so much work to do in my GH... to put an adittional layer of uv folia, to clean up "winter chamber", to transfer all cacti in GH, to repot some cacti, to water them for first time this year and so on..... and for final to catch some viruses . But I am fine now, thank you for your concern

Now I am just waiting to pop up all those buds on cacti. It really is a big difference this year, when cacti stayed in GH during the winter for the firs time. Well, Aloe and some bigger Opuntias are a little poor becouse thay stayed in a stable but I hope they will regenerate over time. Wll, there is still a lot of work to do - put in new tables, reorganize cacti, do some work around GH ...

Nice Agave you have. The "flying Dutchman" has really beautiful Agaves. He is not called "Agavespecialist" for nothing.

I ask for some of them myself. Hope to get them soon.

And cacti are beautifull too.

nice flowers! I bet the greenhouse will do your plants a lot of good

[AgavaSK]

Yes, those Agavas from Holland grower are great. I bought them last year, one year old seedlings and they were very cheap, and they grew up very fine so far. Majcka, did you order something from him? To bad I didn`t know that, becouse I would join to order some things too.

Although I only have a PVC greenhouse, cacti feel great and they are sprouting like crazy .... I can`t wait all those flowers Usually at time like this they were deeply in winter resting ...

No. All I have from him I bought at Stainz that day in August.

Well, my GH is full of buds and I can`t wait for flowers ..... I just hope that the cold announced these days won`t cause any damage on cacti and other plants ....

[Arjen]

Today we were in arboretum. Of course there was a cactus saler...... and I have only 5 new cacti

[majcka]

Aha. I thought so. You saw a cactus seller and no Dinosaurus, right?????

And I think I'll have to come see this GH of yours in person. And soon.

[AgavaSK]

Hi, Majcka!

This time in arboretum were dinos also. And many many many visitors

In arobretum they have new cacti exhibition, but Mrs.Hrovatin has very poor offer this time.... so, we have to go to some "fiesta di cactus" or "Kakteenbörse" in abroad Although mostly of thing I wish "from list A" is available only few miles away ....

And of course you are wellcome to my GH.

Hello!

Last Sunday I was on a cacti event in Graz wiht some friends and also on a visit in GH of a friend. It was a great day in good company and this is what I brought home (and many more seedling that have yet to be planted):
