etherealdrifter Posted April 26, 2015 Roseii#2, Rod and John today we're put in the ground. Stood there and stared at Len's girth and blueness. Pricked my toe on a Psycho log trying to be a clever cactus foot photographer. Teked up some containers with seeds i've received from many of you kaktoose philes over the last 4 weeks or so. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gimli Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Got a new phone today after waiting 5 days for it to be delivered, so been snapping some pics.. Lophophora Williamsii (sown 21-3-2015) One looks a little deformed. Do they often do this or is it due to something I've done? Lophophora Williamsii var San Tiburcio (sown 9-4-2015) Lophophora Diffusa (sown 21-3-2015) Psycho0 x Yowie (sown 21-2-2015) looking a bit sad. Probably a bit upset from the sunlight they got a few weeks ago.. Bridgesii x Super Pedro (sown 16-1-2015) Edited April 30, 2015 by Gimli 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
