Salvi Posted March 31, 2005 Hey, I just picked this guy up. I'm hoping it's a T. spachianus? :D I also picked up these guys... Notocactus schlosseri Mammillaria nejapensis There appeared to be some white stuff oozing out of the Mammillaria...anyone know what it might be? It smelled sort of chemical like. Kind of odd..

Salvi Posted April 1, 2005 Will do smogs. I take it they flower pretty readily? Does the pollen last quite some time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
