Re: First time in Flower
Here's my suggested approach. Get some stout paper or plastic sheet, put it on a workbench, gently lie the plant down on the sheet, and wiggle the old pot off and tidy up the roots. Prepare the new pot with some compost in the bottom. Get some thick leather gloves, and carefully pick up the plant wi...

Re: Lobivia haagii
Phil, thanks for pointing this out. The plants in front might just be Aylostera pygmaea, but i presumed they were offsets on the bigger one behind. To me, the flower looks more like an Echinopsis flower in terms of the number / arangement / tapering shape of petals. Most A. pygmaea forms that come w...

Re: First time in Flower
Ralph, which sp. is this? I've got O. pseudofossulatus as tall as I am and I'm ever hopeful that it'll flower one day :grin: It's growth rate has been relatively much faster than your Dad's plant. It's labelled as O. fossulatus. However, my dad grew several Oreocereus spp. from seed. I know its not...

Re: Lobivia haagii
Nice flower, but its not Rebutia pygmaea. What does that have to do with it, you might ask? Well, Rausch (mistakenly) considered Mediolobivias to be Lobivias at one time, so this name would be referable to Mediolobivia haagei, which is a name for a pale pink form of Aylostera pygmaea. While your flo...

Nice cheerful plant for a dull day (at least it has been here).

First time in Flower
My father originally grew this Oreocerus from seed, over 50 years ago, and it has flowered for the first time! It's about 1m tall.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year
hi Ian,
many of mine suffered last winter, but I hope to have a few spares soon, and will let you know.
All the best
Ralph

Re: Schlumbergera lutea ssp. bradeyi (typo corrected in title)
I had mine for 2 or 3 years before it really started growing much, but then got a lot faster. I guess it needs to develop a good root system first.

Re: And some more variation ;)
This is my LF1153 - looking just as I would expect for A. oculata. Purple stamens, petals red towards tips with more orange-yellow base, long spined.
