On My Roof Terrace * 3
    #22499433 - 11/09/15 08:44 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

The Ariocarpus flower show refuses to stop.  We had a deluge of rain one night a week ago, followed by warm sunny weather since.  This has kept the Ariocarpus plump and warm and producing buds.

This afternoon I had in bloom:


A. agavoides - I love the magenta colour of this one.


A. bravoanus - this double header grew an additional head last winter - when it was supposed to be resting.  I am waiting to see if it will eventually become two separate plants, which can sometimes happen.


A. kotschoubeyanus - a slow grower - still completely outgrown by its blooms.


And I love the pure white of A. retusus

That Ariocarpus Agavoides is beautiful! I cannot wait until my cacti and succulents are flowering! Would have to posses some of the most beautiful flowers in the plant kingdom.

Peace.

Re: On My Roof Terrace [Re: Spanishfly]
    #22508221 - 11/11/15 07:41 AM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Today I took a pic of my Euphorbia obesa - which has become mostruosa - developing 3 growing points.



It started off as a perfectly normal, almost spherical specimen - and in 2009 started to display the 3 growing points.

Since then it has become more extreme, with some offsets developing as well.  If I were to detach those, they would grow, initially at least, as typical examples of the species.  But I have left them there as they add to its warty appearance.

Looks like that 4 X 1026W, 5800K, fusion lamp may be a bit too powerful for your Euphorbia obesa. Looks mighty toasted on the top. . . . .

Maybe you could re-edit it back into your post and then look at it again to see?

I'm not going lie Spanish, you know I love your plants, but that Euphorbia is busted.  Definitely huge, but God it's ugly.   
:llamastare:
That A. mysriostigma var. nudum and super kabuto behind it look pretty damn sexy though.  Got any shots of them?

P.Zap as requested


Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum - I grew this from seed - must be about 3.5 years ago now.


And a Astrophytum asterias, bought in 2009 - wasn´t actually sold to me as a Superkabuto, and I don´t think it is quite furry enough to qualify.  But it certainly has a rather odd shape - it seemed to sulk for a while then burst into life.

That nudum is a beautiful plant.  I love the hint of purple blush it has.  I've got a few of that variety, hope they look that nice in 10 years. :lol:  The asterias is very nice too, now that I see it close up I can see it's just a regular one, but still a very nice plant.  I've got a soft spot for astros but terrible luck with them.  The are far less forgiving about moisture than lophophora.  Many of my plants have succumbed to a slip of the watering can.

One reason I only ever use terracotta pots - they keep your plants a little on the dry side - much easier to cope with than too wet !!

Glad you like them, P.Zap, I have some more Astro pics that I want to post eventually - including a GRAFTED one!!!!!

I grew a few A. asterias from seed about 3 years back.  I read a thread in another forum about grafting Astrophytum - at the time I thought, ´why on earth graft one of the faster growing cactus genuses?´  But in Sep. 2014 I grafted one to a Myrtillocactus geometrizans - a commonly used grafting stock - as a bit of an experiment.



It has grown and flowered a couple of times - but its brethren, still in the pot they all once shared and on their own roots - have done a lot better.



Well - I just guess that is the power of grafting !!

Good fun to try anyway !!!

This L. wiliamsii I have had for 15 years - it has flowered many, many times and produced masses of seedlings, but has never pupped - unusually for a loph.

But it has started to do something unusual in the last year - it is splitting into two - becoming dichotomous.  Now has developed two growing points - and a lump is forming where the two halves meet - I will be watching this space.
