Re: Peterb's new, revised 2012
Very jealous of that beautiful bonkerae - mine is languishing for some unknown reason!
Re: Peterb's new, revised 2012
a couple more bonkerae for a command encore. Tristan, mine was out of it for the past two years and finally responded to these recent rains and some 20-20-20 fertilizer. I also potted it in a larger pot. So, who knows exactly what woke it up.

I've been very happy to have the Sclerocactus thrive here in Phoenix. I was worried when I moved here that it would just be too hot.

Very cool flowers!
I knew there was a reason I started several T. bicolor types from seed.
