Arjen,

The L. incaica turned out to be a very nice plant. The flowers were well worth the wait. We have had a cool period here and they are now on their 4th day! The Lady Evelyn, L. winteriana and Leuchtenbergia principis are all still in bloom.

As for the E. subdenudata, the flowers this time around looked very different from a flower put out by the same plant a month ago. I don't know if having so many flowers opening at the same time on the relatively small plant overtaxed it reserves or what. Below are two photos of blooms on the same plant. The difference in the bloom morphology was really quite significant.

The plant was purchased as E. multiplex and when posted earlier in this thread, another member pointed out he had bought the same plant, with the same name, from the same supplier and it had turned out to be E. subdenudata. I changed the name (to E. subdenudata) based on this information.

that flower does look a lot different from the new ones, but also different from what I know as subdenudata:

imo the areoles are also off, too spiny, while supposed to be more wooly

sorry for adding even more confusion..

It's time to post a few new photos of the collection. I will start with the Hoodias and add other genuses as time permits. This year all but two should have blooms. Last year three species bloomed.

Usually the plants are 1-2 years old when I get them. Both Out Of Africa in Naples, Florida and Arid Lands in Tuscon, Arizona are great suppliers. The plants in the rounded pots are probably 7 years old by now.
