Spok's collection

[spok]

In this thread I will show you my collection of cacti and succulents. I don't have a big collection like many in this forum, but it is expanding.
For an introduction I have some that are currently flowering.

I too do like your small cactus and succulent collection and commend you on your photography. My favorite thus far is the pot with the Turbinicarpus plants. In addition to T. valdezianus, what other cacti are pictured there?

Thanks, hegar. In this pot I have a Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus(had 2 but lost one) and 2 lausseri. None have flowered yet.

Very nice! Can't wait to see the blooms!

Did you do anything special to the Mammillaria perezdelarosae v. andersoniana? I can't seem to get mine to germinate.

Thanks, I look forward to that, too.
Sorry, none of my plants is seed grown by me. I just buy them young. I hope someone else can answer that question.

I have got a succulent labelled as crassula dubia that looks very similar to your morgan's beauty, I wonder if it's the same hybrid.

[gemhunter178]

Ah, well, very nice! Just another perk of growing in Europe, I guess!

Good morning everybody
The last days, the weather has been rainy so many blooms withered without ever opening. I was looking forward to seeing for the first time my Stenocactus coptonogonus and multicostatus blooming so I was disappointed. I was lucky enough to see my new Cintia knizei opening its flower during the few hours it was sunny, though.
