Blue Water lily, Nymphaea Stellata?
-
hi i was after Blue Water lily, Nymphaea Stellata bulbs if anyone has one or too they could spare for a swap or something? i thought they would be awesome to take over the pond with. i saw one bulb on TM for $20 which i think is a bit unreasonable, but maybe not if they arent common in nz. ps does anyone know if bulbs can be sent to nz from oz, same idea as a seed really? thanks, kea

aww that sucks -
cool pattern coming through on this one -
lovely -
has anyone heard if it would be all good to make gourd bongs? i was keen to make lots of seashell cones but got told some nasty poisonous shit leaches off them with heat, which has made me a little cautious

superiority grinds my gears is all

buga too late sorry

not what martin from coromandel cati sold it as and doubt he would be so rude also i image searched t grandiflorus to check and its not the same, this has some longer spines and the flower came out light red then turned peachy, grandiflorus are way more red

why does no one like cuzcoensis?
-
never!

i have one on its own roots which is still a nice red, nothing fluro, i thought i should graft it but its put out flower buds so that shud mean its quite happy shouldnt it?

hey we just brought this cool as crest recently, it looks kinda trichy but who know it really could be anything. i know it might be a long shot but has anyone seen one like this before and might know what it could be? take a guess? http://www.flickr.com/photos/56226923@N07/?saved=1

hmm. areole grafting would certainly b a gud skill to have but the sort of this i guess you would need to be shown by someone who can do it succesfully, i have a mate who has a dream to aereole graft spirals of lophs round a pedro. which would look too awesome. stairway to heaven haha.

i love your azureocereus hertlingianus ( super spikey blue guy in the corner behind the red pot in the very first picture ) they are so beautiful. i was gutted i missed an 80cm one on trademe, went for $1.50!! funny how some cacti seem to be worth less once they are at the difficult to handle stage. great start to a collection, the bug has certainly bitten your ass!
-
haaa haaa haaaaa!
-
about 3 quarters of them are my boyfriends but i am proud of them too haha
-
haha oh dear that would have been fun ;) the problem is you never quite notice how bad its getting till the time comes. cacti collecting has made me want to put some roots down somewhere and never flat again (aged 19 lol)
-
keep them at your parents house if they will let you, we got too excited with cacti collecting while living in a flat.. moving house was a BITCH

i tried google image and it really only came up with san p crests. areole grafting is a bit beyond my skills at the moment haha i think there are a couple little pieces that look like they are reverting to normal growth. jealous of nz? hah! u should c our "summers" ( 1 day rain. 1 day sun. 2 days rain. half a days sun. etc etc) thanks for your suggestions tho

holy shiznit you really are a grafting freak, good shit! i am most jealous of your aztekiums, pelecyphora and ariocarpus from the german nursery, do you happen to know if pelecyphora take well to grafting, we have one that might be on the choping block one day. i am very impressed. 10 points.
