Mystery Aizoid

I have had this a while. I would have thought a Pleiospilos, leaves look a bit like P peersii but the flowers are so different.... I think. It has bloomed for several years and the petals are always these stringy things. Photo was taken mid-August. Any ID suggestions are gratefully accepted. Thanks....

Re: Most underrated plants

Are you interested in indoor or outdoor plants? I don't know the low temperatures in Macedonia - -4C?

A great easy plant that flowers easily and is nice in a hanging basket is Othonna capensis. Outdoors in warm climates is a ground cover.

Re: Is this REALLY a pony tail palm?

Yes, Beaucarnia recurvata. The other Beaucarneas are not so common and the globose base of yours looks spot on.

It can take years to grow a tall neck, especially in a smallish pot and indoors.

Re: Succulent ID

Elie, bill baker does not have the acute (pointy) leaf tip that your's does. There are so many graptos and echiverias and pachys and hybrids that I have virtually no labels in mine. Finding out is one of those "someday" projects that has not happened yet in years... Shmuel Jerusalem Israel

Echinopsis who?

I have had this for many years and it finally bloomed. So it seems Echinopsis, but which one? Any thoughts?
Thanks

Re: November 2017 - Schlumbergera truncata

Thanks for posting this as November's plant! For some reason I have had terrible trouble growing these. I have hundreds of cacti and no problem, but Shlumbergera defies me. I have no problem with Rhipsalis or Hatiora or Aporocactus but these defy me! And supposed to be easy. Perhaps it is winter col...

Hi,
How do you rotate it? Looks like it is in a bed, or is it in a hidden pot?
