mutant Posted March 13, 2012 group shot. or the right, the're y harissia jusberti some of my TBMs . in the back it's the ozzie OMAR pachanoi Seed grown bridgesii , 3,5 y.o. , only a pup was removed from it much earlier. I haven't named it yet something particular. Some of my ferocacti. several of those I had have gone to the ground. Once I have seen how they do in the ground in a sunny spot, I cannot constrain them in a pot for two much! Acacia accuminata! this is the first acacia I seemingly will reach to maturity! thanks to ferret for the seed. Acacia maidenii from a different source, I got this mature, in bad shape, it went it through fine in the roof, if you consider the winter was relatively harsh 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tedzr Posted March 19, 2012 Fantastic balcony garden you have mutant. Seems to be getting closer to a nursery really ;) Plenty of stuff I've never seen and the Greek succulent pot definitely caught my eye, very tasteful. Was that fat lopho was grown from a single aerole in a year? I think I remember an aerole thread a while back.. amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutant Posted April 10, 2012 what kind of fert would yougive to a such yellowing cactus? low N, high PK ? echinopsis 'ruby visions' supposedly a terschecki X, but not likely I think a seed-grown terscheckii a special '4-wind' bridgesii ..... ..... is turning 2 of its 4 new sprouts into 4-ribbers! 6 to 4 5 to 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted April 10, 2012 Got a new camera with a zoom/macro/macro zoom that seriously rules The classic but still amazing Echinocereus rigidissimus rubispinus and now on to some stenocactus macrozoom photography Echinocereus rigidissimus rubispinus , the flower bud is one of the most beautiful thingsI have seen on a cactus. It's got a long way to grow till bloom terschecki from seed [spent the winter exposed on the roof] Monvillea spegazzini, unsure if its pups or buds, probably pups 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
