Re: A Blooming Thread
My Mammilaria prolifera is constantly getting new fruit but I don’t see flowers..? Keep missing the Astrophytum capricorne flowers also, dangnabbit!

Maybe it helps that I bought the soil in winter - not much heat out there now to grow spores right now. Anyway: can't go hike in the woods because of th...

Re: Xerophilia - another free online journal
So I have only read the first page of this thread so far but I just wanted to make a comment on private collections being used for holotypes.

Re: Is this subs. sanluisensis ?
