Oscularia deltoides

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Yes, I think this is a nice little plant, it can't compete for flower power with lampranthus (which it is supposedly now included in) but it's leaves are much more interesting for the rest of the year. Mine have been in full bloom for weeks but now going over.

Me too!

I now have both Oscularia deltoides v. deltoides and v. caulescens (less toothy). Both have put out a good show of flowers in the last couple of weeks.

I love those! One very cold winter killed off the ones I had in the garden and of course that was the year I didn't have any cuttings going. It wasn't as big as Patrick's though :shock:

They grow very easily here as long as they are not in too much sun in the summer!
