Re: Oreocereus flowers
Very nice. You've done well there. Which species? How old?

Re: Oreocereus flowers
I've got this one as Oreocereus pseudofossulatus and it's one off many cuttings from a very old plant and around 5 feet now. Also have other species in bud like celsianus.

Re: Oreocereus flowers
I found my old man of Peru jammed solid under a shelf in the GH. I had forgotten I had one. The top was almost flat when I pulled it free. Dare I wish to see flowers?
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.

Re: Oreocereus flowers
Very good indeed, Mark.
None of my Oreos have flowered this year (yet) - I normally see them on a trollii and a leucotrichus.

Re: Oreocereus flowers
My O. pseudofossulatus must be around 2m tall and has yet to flower. So guys, am I doing something wrong or is this known to be a reluctant/shy bloomer?
Cheers,
