Early flowers

Post by keith »

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus. Are these must be harder to grow than Turbinicarpus valdezianus because they cost more on Ebay ?

Cool flowers.
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
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND

I too love those Turbinicarpus cacti. I do have two of the T. valdezianus, none of them a pink-flowering kind. T. pseudopectinatus is indeed harder to find. I shall purchase at least one of them when I get a chance to do so. Again, it is amazing, that you were able to buy both a white-flowering and a pink-flowering specimen.
Your plants do look good and healthy. Nice job! =D>

I got them at miles2go when I lived in Phoenix I used to visit his greenhouses he has lots of extra stuff he sometimes sells that's not listed.
