Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
Your second picture shows a M. lasiacantha (according to the file name), but the title says M. magallanii.
First time they have flowered?

Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
I bought the seeds as being M. denudata, which is now considered to be part of the nominal form of M. lasiacantha. But I have recently found that the SB143 population is supposed to be M. magallanii after all...Aiko wrote:Your second picture shows a M. lasiacantha (according to the file name), but the title says M. magallanii.

They have flowered before, the M. gasseriana since 2015 and the other since last year. They are a bit stunned from suffering a vicious attack of mealybugs.

Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
I see. Is the supposed-to-be M. magallanii a parent of the seeds I got from you?
Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
The seeds you got from me were from different plants, but with the same collection code. I got them from Chris Davies a few years ago.

Thanks. I will add SB143 to the name.

Turbinicarpus valdezianus, just under 1 cm across, and Tubinicarpus schmiedickeanus subsp. andersonii (panarottoi) RH151 a little larger. Aren't babies cute?

Nice ones. Here is to cold to see much.
Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
This has been a dry and cold winter, but since it's sunny the greenhouse warms up quite a bit. Mammillaria of the Lasiacanthae series are usually early bloomers and some Turbinicarpus flower throughout the winter.

Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
I am seriously considering watering this coming weekend. Although the weather has been rather cold (for our standards, at least), because of the clear skies and lack of rain temps go up during the day and the plants can't be bothered to stay dormant.

Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
They are very nice. Are they hard to sprout, slow growing, requires any special care? Just wondering if I should try sowing some...

very beautiful flower photos.
I wish I could also pour next weekend. But we have frost, it is winter.
So I'll have to wait another 2 to 3 months until I can pour.
Until then I'm looking forward to your flower photos.
Kind regards

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
Turbinicarpus are generally very easy to grow from seed and start to bloom at a very early age. It is once they get older that you have to be careful with their thick roots.mmcavall wrote:They are very nice. Are they hard to sprout, slow growing, requires any special care?

It is very rare to have frosts around Lisbon, and when they happens they are always very light. This year has been different because of the lack of rain and almost permanent clear skies, the greenhouses heat up very well and the plants beg for some water...

Re: jfabiao's 2017 photo dump
I am a bit jealous about your weather. My Pediocactus get some water in one and a half month. All others will have to wait for late March to get their first bit of water.
