My knippelianus v kruegeri has finally flowered today. The buds have been teasing me for what feels like weeks.

I have Lincoln yellow bird sitting with three big buds on it currently. Your plant is a way ahead of mine.

Gasterias take up the majority of the space under my bench.
Other dormant plants also sit under there. All my conos are currently under the bench and will only be moved when they’re watered late in the summer.

I bought a small rectangular bonsai pot from a jumble sale two years ago for the princely sum of 20p. I’ve never found a plant to put in it!

Whenever I've asked about these medusoid euphorbias on facebook groups and elsewhere, I'm told they're difficult to tell apart at the best of times and hybridise readily with each other to complicate things further. My first thought when I saw it was euphorbia pugniformis though, for what it's worth.

I’ve had no problems logging in but the drama this week has shown me I don’t have access to the members part of the forum I didn’t know existed. I’ve never been able to post in the For Sale forum either, potentially because I’m not recognised as a BCSS member.

I got them sown just in time for the MSG seed list to be released today!

A recent purchase for me… a very strangely growing turbinicarpus klinkerianus trying to push its way out of a 2 3/4 inch BEF pot.

I thought I was done and then somehow convinced myself I needed more. I put in another order with adblps last night…

Gave everything some water over the weekend during a pocket of warm late afternoon sunshine... and then it dropped to 4 °C overnight last night
