Thunder quote,,

" love the way the spines return to chocolate when wet - may even oil em up one day with a toothbrush and maybe olive oil or something natural :3 and I'd love to see them flower one day ... and stick my ... in one..

which reminds me :,

dyu think its ok or cool to start a new thread asking to see if anyone has pushed their dick in a tricho flower

and was it worth the risk of gettn wang out near the spines and how it felt?... type thing."

Not thought about trich flowers but defly crossed my mind with Brugmansia flowers lol so aromatic and sexy ;))

Waterboy this absolutely gorgeous

I had 1 year old morning glory (heavenly blue) seeds. I put 10 of them in a cup of water without nicking any of them. Within 2 days all had a tap root. I planted 6 and tossed the rest in a few cacti pots. Today I noticed that one of the tossed ones, not only germinated, but was climbing on this "Ecuadorian PachanoiXpsycho0".

snuck some piccies in after unpacking seven deadly seventh sons of a seventh sin

and banging em in my cuttings pot.. which felt amazing!

Woke up this morning to the cat knocking over one of my lophs in the bedroom, second time I've caught her she loves them.

[Gimli]

This TBM turned up today :D

[nut]

Is that Len your putting to sleep there Waterboy? I have a little Len just taking off.

[franky]

Just watching some of my grafted seedlings grow under lights, mostly Loph's in this pic. A lot are really pupping, although only a few are actually seed that came labelled caesp, the others are seeds from my own plants and I did not have a flowering caesp last season. interesting. All lophs are roughly 3 months old from sowing.

Otherwise to the right are a few of the variagated Astrophytum asterias I have.

[☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ]

Ty very kindly .

I blame:

Good ole german square-potsmanship and scandinavian sourced granular

kitty litter (DE), and silly amounts of tomorite blending in

a moving air current and plenty of greenhouse effect with added shade for all but the south

facing window and the inspiration here at SAB.

Will be trying to recreate these parameters artificially soon as i can afford to.

Might try trays in a grow tent and a fan with some hort' LEDs

I think it's time for you to go to cactaholicsanonymous.com and find your local meeting place.

My one and only Adenium obesum has produced 4 fruit. I concluded it's self-fertile and read about how to harvest the seeds. It's like stapelia, so I'll have to cover the fruits with pantyhose, so when it opens the seeds don't disperse.

What's really interesting, turns out that it produces 2 kinds of flowers. The same plant will produce a male flower and a female flower. Well... I never knew there are plants like this.

[upside]

Hey Philo,, cannabis can be hermaphroditic also. Except it's not a good thing usually

[Philocacti]

Hahahahaha yeah, but from what I understand is that with Adenium, one flower will have anthers and another on the same plant will have stigmas. Maybe I misunderstood, I'll research more and I'll update you.

[Psyentist]

Found a fruit this morning!...

Amazing!

I love the contrasting colours.

[Visceral420]

Hey Philo

Sounds like you pretty much got it right mate, avocado are the same. Has male and female flowers that actually open at different times in most areas. Hence why people think you need a male and a female plant. When in fact you need an A and a B plant so that the male/female flowers overlap

[Dooligar]

Took a photo of the small plants I have at my place, can't wait to get my larger tichs here! Also was gifted this lighting fixture. Which CFL globe do you guys recommend for propagating lophs and trichs?
