My Daughters Spikes

Recommended Posts

I dragged my daughters of to 75 year old Mike's amazing garden a couple of weekends ago and after chatting with Mike for some time the girls picked out a cacti each and I grabbed a couple of cuttings of the Mike bridgesii clone.

Mike also gifted free cacti to each of us which was a lovely gesture.

We also bought a bowl with three cacti to support cancer research (his wife passed away three years ago of cancer).

Mike and his wife planted most of the collection from seed and it was there life for 40+ years.

All West Aussies that are interested in cacti should go and have a look at Mike’s collection and most of it is for sale.

Reading a previous thread the pink flower one is a mammilaria is the other a mammilaria as well?

Mike rocks... :) Such a cool collection.

Them's looks like epiphyllums, a few of mine are out too... Does she have a name on the pink one? i've got the exact same, and am trying to get the name of it...

Funky how it just runs heaps of flowers from the same leaf, pretty as...

Hey Gilligan

Mike is very cool in his own way :)

I was talking to my brother after I posted and realized they weren’t zygo

I will check and see if they have tags.

There are a number of different ones coming into flower as well.

Bruce and the dragon fruit are going great.

Cheers

Got
