Really very beautiful.

You do a excelent job, Dustin.

For me it's like a cruelly torture to see such pics. I don't get the first flowers before April.

I think Andy used me as the epitome of late flowers last year. I get nothing until June!

There you have it!

But I'm going to try and change things this year. My plan is to move the plants to the greenhouse on May 1 or close to it. It helps a lot that I don't have to recover the greenhouse first. If all goes well, I might just get a flower in May!

Another nice day in the greenhouse...

and I guess 125f is a little to warm for this matucana bloom...(looks like its melting lol)

I did not intentionaly let the temp get that high this morning. Weather man said it was to be cloudy and cool all morning, so went to class with the gh all closed up. Came home to a sauna lol, needless to say its opened up and venting now.

Thanks guys/gal. Well a little more action in the gh today. These fellas are now on the Repeat Offenders list!

and this one has me scratching my head. Where in the world did this fuit come from? I has not bloomed for me, and I recieved this plant back in December from miles2go. Do these really take almost 3 months to set fruit?

Dustin, hopefully the repeat offenders will be chronic offenders!

I know that many Mammillaria will push out fruits many months after the pollination and I assume Coryphantha are the same way.
