Things started gearing up despite of unstable weather.















And an update from today: Matucana aureiflora.


Flourishing among gymnos: R. minuscula seedling with its very 1st flower.

hello 7george

thank you for sharing your blooms all are very nice

regards

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



Escobaria minima & Reb. pygmaea v. canacruzensis







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


2nd bloom this season. Got a new pot, soil meanwhile.


Reb. krainziana.


More fruits?

E. minima.







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

Nothing extraordinarily happened in July.





Some of the views in the yard.

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.

You have a very nice collection of cacti.

This one did several flowers this summer.


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


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

Some succulents bloomed in August.

Larryleachia cactiformis.


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



Our Alberta club annual meeting.

The season here is over, just after bringing the tender ones indoors...


Just an Adromiscus is still in bloom:

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.




Last day opening: There is a small but next to the flower but its future is uncertain in coming winter days.

Well, that wasn't the last one. Enjoying the warm weather another one opened these days:

Some can't wait till the spring. First midwinter flowers are coming.

Beautiful M carmenae! Mine is also in flower, in sync with yours
