Re: April 2022 - Spring colors

Thank you everyone for your participation!

The winner is el48tel's Parodia schwebsiana. It didn't have the large, brightly colored flowers of some of the other pictures, but I liked how the spines complemented the smaller orange bloom. (tu)

Re: Possible plant ID please

Re: Growing succulents in a vertical wall

Ed, I've not found Sedum nussbaumerianum to be particualrly hardy. It comes through milder winters but do be prepared to lose it. That said, I've not grown it vertically, so maybe that will help. In fact, now it is in my mind, I will put a cutting in one of my crevices and see! Yes. My Adolphii got...

April 2022 - Spring colors

It's spring now, the time of stress colors and flowers. Maybe that Epiphyllum or Echinopsis hybrid is flowering. Or your Aloe hybrids are looking wonderful. Perhaps it's your Aeoniums looking colorful as they go into their dormant state. I'll start this off with this unknown Echinopsis hybrid. PXL_2...

Re: Aeonium Stigma receptive.

Often, pollen is produced before the stigma becomes receptive and self-fertility may be primarily from transfer of pollen between flowers, rather than at the same flower. As for the specifics of your cross, I've no idea I'm afraid. Thank you. I think I will apply pollen on the stigmas for 3 consecu...
