A Lobivia and a Parodia

Post by Tetrazole »

These two have bloomed over the last day and with luck, I should be able to get an ID on both and label them once and for all.

The first is likely Lobivia aurea v dobeana. It was a grocery store fine a year ago. The plant looks identical to one purchased from TeeDee Cactus in January 2010 named Lobivia aurea v dobeana. The TeeDee Cactus plant looks great but it aborted all the buds it started to set on in early May.

The second was a Home Depot find a couple of years back. I suspect it is a Parodia erubescens. It has been working on a bunch of buds for over 3 months! The first opened yesterday and today there were three or four open.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions as to identity.
