Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln

[jfabiao]

A new drug problem is taking place around the world, the first victims being cats - OMG "Frau Klein". . .

You must be very careful with this! In no time, Frau Klein will start selling your plants to the cats in the neighbourhood to get money to buy more used shoes!

Too bad about that rotting Pleiospilos in the background... They do that so sneaky every time!

Good morning Aiko,

Good evening dear cacti-friends,

today no flowers and no particularly "nice" plants.
I have plants that give me much pleasure, but I never show them.
Poor growth, no flowers, untypical growth.
Or because they are so "simple", so everyday.
I like them all and now some are coming to the light of the public. . .


Dead Wilcoxia, drives out again after three years.
176362


I forgot these Cleistocactus seedlings in the hazelbusch. . .
176379


Nice Mammillaria, no flowers since 15 years.
176386


This opuntia brought me friends from Greece (THANKS AGAIN !!! ).
Two offshoots in a cigarrette box. Looks good but needs a lot of space.
176382


Euphorbia, not small, not fine. But I can not dispose of them. And I'm glad that they grow well.
176388


Cereus peruvianus > see Euphorbia
176390


Echinocereus, actually a nice group, after three years the growth begins. And I am beginning to like the thorns.

Agave, why do they grow so well? Too big, not to transport, but nice.
176398


This column I saved from an empty house, ugly plant. But nice offshoots - they have to like it here.
176416


Ferocactus glaucescens, non-sprouting and non-flowering. . .
176421


Echinocactus grusonii, who wants something like that? Of course nobody in Central Europe. The greenhouse is already full. . .
176427

even worse, seedlings. . .
176434


Opuntia microdasys var. alba, I hate Glochids. I found an ear on the floor in a friend's greenhouse. Dried and crushed. . .
