Minime8484's C&S Collection - 2015

Post by Minime8484 »

All ready for a new year of growing and flowering and new cacti & succulents!
Let's hope we've had the last cold snap here in the valley of the Winter.

My first bloomer of the new year is my dependable Micranthocereus densiflorus - great way to start off the year!

Lots of other stuff starting to bud up, but it's slow going so far.
Here's to warmer weather! :D

Thats a lovely looking plant, the contrast with the spiney stem and flowers is really nice. I have buds appearing here but its a bit early for mine to wake up yet.

My first Cleistocactus bloom of 2015, and one I missed when it bloomed for the first time last year when I was in Guyana!
It's going to be a great Cleisto Year! :D

Spring is in full swing in my yard! Second species of Cleistocactus for the year:

And, another of my Micranthocereus densiflorus (this one thanks to James!!), just a tad out of sync with my other plant, so no seeds this year. :cry:

Spring has definitely sprung here in AZ. Lots of plants in bud, but these are some of the earlier bloomers.

Great pics Tristan. Echinocereus davisii is a faithful bloomer -- even the tiniest plants seem to produce multiple flowers.
