Re: April 2024 - Bursting out of the pot
Found this plant when visiting a friend on Wednesday. Extremely impressive spination shown by the plants in his collection, but one day too late

Re: March 2024 Marvellous Mesembs
Last month I wasn't able to contribute - no Adromischus in my collection. This month I had to search my photo archive a little longer, as I had already presented several mesemb pictures before, including some as night bloomers ... So here is my March selection: One aspect I love about mesembs is the...

Re: January: Graphic
Some people say that I have difficulty making decisions. However, I don't know ... :roll: Well, I'll sort it out backwards: 8. There's juster's Ferocactus pilosus ; maybe it's the slightly unsteady border at the top right that keeps it off the winner's podium. 7. With Mike T's Mammillaria hahniana ,...

Re: January: Graphic
On the one hand (and first of all), I'm really delighted with the high number of entries - that hasn't always been the case in recent months! On the other hand, this means real work for me: There are so many great photos that I can't quite make up my mind yet ... After sorting out a few shots (e.g. ...

No flowering succulents on my hands, and I assume it's not much different for you ... So I suggest a theme where we can focus a little more on the plants themselves: Images with a graphic effect . Structures / textures / patterns are a feature that succulents offer all year round, whether through th...

Re: December: Winter
Just came back from a few days off - and now I found Ali Baba's choice as a nice surprise. Thanks for picking one of my pics!
I hope for an overnight inspiration for a topic to start into the new year ... and will let you know tomorrow (in case of a successful epiphany ... ).

Re: December: Winter
This winter has not been very photogenic so far, so I've dug out a few older photos. One with snow, a hybrid of Opuntia fragilis , WB 1 Opuntia fragilis 'Füssen'.JPG ... and some with hoarfrost / ice crystals: Sedum acre WB 2 Sedum acre.JPG Sempervivum hybr. WB 3 Sempervivum hybr..JPG Sempervivum wu...

Re: November - night flowers
Congratulations to Mike (and Darren, of course!) on choosing the same picture as me as the winning photo ... :wink: Again, I could 'recycle' some of my last month's entries: In fact, both Prepodesma and Chasmatophyllum start opening their flowers not before afternoon. However, for the sake of variet...

Re: October: Mesembs other than Lithops
Struggling with some health issues (just minor ones comparing to what I had to experience last winter ...) I wasn't able to pick some appropriate mesemb pics earlier. But last week I had given a talk on winter and frost hardy cacti & other succulents at a local branch nearby, so I just have chos...

Re: September: Outdoors
Sorry for the delay! I was away for a long weekend including a fantastic cactus meeting in Austria (‘Knittelfelder Kakteentage’). There have not been too many contributions this month either. I hope that this will change with the darker evenings, which have now noticeably begun again! All that remai...
