Re: E pachanoi
Is this one of your seed-grown plants then, Eric? If so, how long did it take for it to flower?

Re: E pachanoi
That's what I thought - my impression has been that they take a fair bit of time to get to flower. I have four plants of similar age and size, so I shall look at them with renewed interest...

Re: E pachanoi
Eric, have you thrown away the dead flowers yet? I'm curious to see how they look now. My related tricho flowered a few days before yours and I noticed the dead flowers went black and are still quite fleshy. Here's a photo with a E. mamillosa alongside (which flowered at around the same time) - it quickly went dry and grey.

Re: E pachanoi
Hi Phil,
Yes, in my experiences the spent flowers turn black very quickly and drop off.

Re: E pachanoi
Hi both, my first flower is still hanging on just, but it is looking very dark at the moment. A second flower is emerging, but I will keep an eye out when it drops.
