Dan's flowers and stuff 2014
It's already well into 2014, but there's little activity in my plants to report, but I'll still try to get up to speed with how my collection looks at the moment. Also, I never seem to post much of my own collection, so I feel I should share it with you all more. And without further ado, here's a few pictures showing an overview of the GH as of today. Everything is in need of a severe sorting out, since I got some new staging, though! Feel free to ask what things are.

Re: Dan's 2014
Hello Dan,
you do already have a great assortment of cacti and succulents. The Leuchtenbergia principis plant is a big one for sure.
I do have one too, but it has yet to flower. It produced offsets and increased overall in size though.
One of your plants caught my attention right away. It is the one in the bigger pot on the top row on image 2.
Is that plant grafted or does it have that thin base naturally?

Nice collection! They look very cozy in there. Warming up yet?

Re: Dan's 2014
Lots of nice plants there, I like your e.bridgsii montrose.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind

Re: Dan's 2014
Thanks. I guess you mean the grafted Copiapoa. It came to me like that and I've been meaning to degraft it some time (or at least drastically shorten the stock). However it seems to develop the typical Copiapoa farina much better than any of the plants I have on their own roots!hegar wrote:Hello Dan,

Since I always tend to have the Greenhouse open on two ends, the highest it's been in there is about 20C on a sunny day recently. I'm in no rush though. I've got plenty of Winter growing plants which I want to stay happy for a bit longer.AKNicolle wrote:Nice collection! They look very cozy in there. Warming up yet?

Re: Dan's 2014
An overview of my greenhouse from a week or two ago. Filling up nicely, but there's still room!
I also had the first flower of the year last week. Turb. schmiedickeanus ssp. schmiedickeanus. Plenty of other plants are budding up nicely, but so far nothing else has obliged with flowers.

Re: Dan's 2014
Signs of flowers to come. I've been keeping my greenhouse colder than most people's, so I'm a bit behind, but I'm not too bothered.
Echinocereus viridiflorus v. montanus
Eriosyce napina
Notocactus uebelmannianus
Eriosyce subgibbosa ssp. clavata

Re: Dan's 2014
I like the e.napina, another erio on my want list, also I have never seen an echinocereus viridiflorus v. montana, bit nicer than the normal ones. What colour are the flowers?

Re: Dan's 2014
Some updates since last time. There have been more flowers, more growth and buds have been growing! So far, so good.
My first Epiphyllum flower ever. Epiphyllum 'ackermannii hybridus'.
A new shrubby Mesemb addition, with nice flowers. Oscularia deltoides.
A classic Mamm. flower. Mammillaria microhelia
Lovely little Turbi. flower. Turbinicarpus valdezianus
And another. Turbinicarpus (Gymnocactus) knuthianus
Finally, some cute flowers from today on a rather unusual, rare African geophyte. Also the leaves, which are similar to some Haworthia. Bulbine inamarxiae

Re: Dan's 2014
Wow. So many beautiful flowers, and such a nice space for them to grow.
My cactus must be gods. They demand blood sacrifice.

Re: Dan's 2014
Fantastic setup you have there. The plants are all so pristine! Love the Turb's especially, but that Mammillaria microhelia is really attractive with those blooms and dark spines!
Nice!
Nice!

Re: Dan's 2014
I've really neglected this thread, but the same cannot be said for my cacti and they have rewarded me accordingly. We'd better get started then, we have a lot to get through.
Mamm. perezdelarose ssp. andersoniana is one of my favourite plants, not just because of the brilliant spines.
I found myself a new botanical vice over the course of last winter, namely African geophytes (bulbous plants and such). They're rewarding though, as shown by this Moraea lurida flower:
Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele is a reliable bloomer and showed us what it does best earlier in the year.
I expanded by Ariocarpus collection with this motley crew.
Lobivia winteriana decided to outshine all my other plants with this stunning display.
The Lobivia was followed up shortly by a nice firework display provided by Eriosyce senilis.
And that about brings us up to the beginning of June. I'll continue shortly in the next post.
