Re: makeshift shelter for conophytums and rare mesembs (pics)

Wow all your plants looks nice and happy. The size of those Ihlenfeldtia vanzylii flowers, though! Great job.

Re: My Cacti 2016

Lovely display of flowers Harald! I need to get more summer blooming plants like you. Most of my cacti have already flowered for the year. I do have some Adenium and Uncarina that are flowering but those are potted plants. Congrats on your queen of the night! I am still waiting for mine to make some...

Cylindropuntia kleiniae?

Hello all, I have these two plants, that I thought had the same flower color last year. This year they seem to be different and I am not sure what they are. I thought they were both Cylindropuntia kleiniae, but now I am not so sure. Thanks! http://i.imgur.com/YxLD2aZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GDavlj9.j...

Re: My Cacti 2016

Excellent stuff Harald! Can't believe you have so many blooms already! It seems like my plants are taking their sweet time. How often are you watering? I think it has to do with elevation since I am out in the valley it may not get as warm yet.

Everything looks great!

Re: Hana's grafting in 2014/2015

Great job on the red flowering A. asterias. Do you think the seedlings in the same batch have a red flower?

What happens when the stock loses it's leaves? Does the growth of the scion slow down?

Wow!! Such great photos K.W.! Thank you for sharing your trip with us. Miles' place looks fantastic! Those Ariocarpus he has are giants! Would love to visit one day. Do you have any other pics of his place? Did you visit any other nurseries?

Re: Aquarium propagator (with pics) updated!

A few more shots.. Does anyone know the id of this plant? I'm thinking it's Harrisia adscendens, based on the growth.

Sorry, all not sure why they are sideways.

Re: Aquarium propagator (with pics) updated!

Howdy all! Here are some fall updates. I am planning on taking most of these guys inside since I am not sure how much cold they can handle.
