These O. ficus-indica need a new pot again, it will be one bigger for all 9 seedlings. Just for the summer.

This last pictured plant was given to me last summer for some Rebutia or Aylostera but apparently it is Lobivia famatimensis.

Still wandering if this flower is red or pink? It changes with age and depending on the light, came out.

I don't know actually. Can be a normal form of it. It took that shape after re-potting from a small clay pot being confined there for unknown number of years. Just a normal expansion and self-expression I guess.

This one did several flowers this summer.

Image
S. arenacea doesn't look good, maybe the rootstock is gone, have to check this soon.

Image
Single flower again. We had not much heat this summer and the season is almost over.

Some succulents bloomed in August.
Image
Larryleachia cactiformis.
Image

These are some unknown seedlings salvaged from a gifted pot. Any ideas?

Good evening George,

very nice pictures of your plants!

Is the winter start in Calgary on schedule? Or earlier this year than normal?

The meeting of the Alberta plant friends in your garden looks like the meeting of plant friends Köln with me on the roof terrace. :)


Best wishes

K.W.

Hi, K.W. , I think the winter is little early but will it will be some sunny days in October. Everything happens fast but I managed to evaquate collection for 3 days and now am in California for a week. That meeting was in a friend's place where we meet usually.
Have a good day too!

Maybe the last flower this season: Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus, Nov. 1st.
