Neoporteria floccosa

Post by Phil Hocking »

The best of all worlds - flowers, wool and spines. My first Neoporteria floccosa gave up the ghost over the winter despite being bone dry indoors. Luckily I was able to find another one and this one is doing fine. I think it is probably from the same batch of seed because I'm pretty sure I got both from David Neville. The lack of sun is not helping the flowers to open any wider.

We had a bit of sun yesterday and they opened quite nicely. I have tickled them and I already have a couple of seedlings growing anyway, from seed rescued from the one that died. Fingers crossed for more seeds and one to pass on.
