BRC's cacti adventure...in a flat

[ElieEstephane]

Only the biggest one in the back flowers for me every year. The others (var chinensis) are quite big but they refuse to flower. I think it depends on what cultivar

[BRC]

You are probably right.

I only had one other Aloe since i started growing cacti and succulents, and that one flowered for me in a matter of months, i just thought that eventually, someday, maybe lol, it would grace me with some flowers.

Back in 2012 i believe, Aloe veriagata. (Bad Photo)

[ElieEstephane]

Found this photo now. It's my only flowering aloe other than the vera.
Aloe nobilis:

All my other aloes that should flower, aren't doing anything

Clearly they are conspiring!!

[greenknight]

Glad to have you back!

Your photos are great (well, some of them), don't sell yourself short.

[BRC]

Thank you greenknight

As for the quality of the photos...well i like to think that it's something people have come to expect of me hehehe.

So today, i decided to repot my Aloe... It was quite the adventure

Lots of roots!!




The tiny ones already on their own.




The big guy...still with lots of roots



Lots of work!!


But in the end, all done!!







Also a new adition...

Euphorbia platyclada. Used to have a lovely one a few years ago, but unfortunatly lost it . Got this new one, as a gift. Need to repot it.



Thank you

[ElieEstephane]

Good job! I love digging into roots and seeing what's going on

[BRC]

One of my 15 new aditions...

Obregonia denegrii





Pretty happy with it

[BRC]

First flower of the year over here, from one of my new resisdents.
Not sure exactly which Turbinicarpus it could be, but maybe schmiedickeanus.







Love it

[BRC]

Well the sun is out after almost two weeks of rain and grey skies and my residents have decided to present me with a few small but beautiful flowers.

I love turbies!!






















Not a turbie!



Thank you
