Nice work Jane. I've currently only got the species formerly known as Greenovia heading towards flowering (aureum and diplocyclum), none of the others showing signs yet! Are yours kept quite warm over winter?

Didn't have chance this week Terry and there are a number of other flowers coming through to give some fresher pollen when I might have something else to put it on!

Collect it on cotton bud stick.
Wrap in kitchen foil.
Put in airtight food box
Place in fridge
It will be viable for 4 months

Titanopsis calcarea take two - took "proper" camera into greenhouse and moved plant onto piece of grey card so that I could adjust white balance easily in Lightroom.
