Foxy was back, surveying the area for cacti eatin' intruders...ALL CLEAR!
I think he spotted our cat frantically bouncing around in the window
Aloe noid #1
Not really sure what this one is, but looks cool and has bloomed atleast 3 times this year already. At one time i thought it may be A. harlana 'Mosaic' ...??
Aloe noid #2
Very small, only 2.5 to 3in in diameter. Grows upwards in stacks, rather than outwards in girth. Probably very common, as it came from a big box store. Thought i took a plant pic...guess not
Astrophytum asterias
Astrophytum ornatum
2 weeks ago we removed some large non-cacti plants to make room for..... more cacti of course! This was one of the ones that went in the ground...didn't seem to slow it down any!
Astrophytum myriostigma
I really like the black tipped petals.
Brighamia insignis
Endemic to Hawaii, although i'm not sure if they are on all the islands. I've seen it on 2 of 3 islands i've been on (Maui and the big island) Should be interesting, never seen one bloom before!
It's in a 1gl pot and stands about 16-18inches tall. We have some smaller ones (8-10inches) on the sales tables, but not ready to bloom yet. Not easy to keep healthy in the hot desert sun...they like it cooler and wetter...but we're making a solid go at it!
Ceropegia ampliata
More fun and very odd flowers
Ceropegia armandii
Ceropegia woodii
Coleocephalocereus aureus
Love these little neon green flowers.
Copiapoa hypogaea
I know, been posting alot of repeat Copiapoa's...and while they all kinda look the same, they still have their place
Eriosyce islayensis
(Islaya islayensis)
Eriosyce taltalensis ssp. pausicostata
Almost ready!
Euphorbia viguieri var. ankarafantsiensis
Camera can't really handle the intense color of these flowers.
Euphorbia beharensis var. guillemetii
I can't recall when this plant was NOT in bloom!
Ferocactus hererrae
2 last hoorahs for the season.
Fockea crispa
Funky little star flowers.
Gibbaeum album
I can't seem to get this one to play on my phonograph...it's missing the grooves
Gymnocalycium mihanovichii v. friedrichii
Gymnocalycium stenopleurum
It's trying...A for effort.
Huernia insigniflora
lapidaria margaretae
Lithops lesliei
not red enough to be the red form
Lithops lesliei 'Albinica'
Mammillaria karwinskiana
Didn't seem to like the summer heat, but now that it's cooled off slightly (hey 10F cooler is 10F cooler!)
Mammillaria muehlenpfordtii
Mammillaria polythele inermis
BTW, this plant has produced ripe fruit!! Fingers are crossed it's viable and i can grow it!
Matucana haynei
Again, hard for the camera to capture the true colors.
Matucana madisoniorum
I'm gonna start calling these the Pringels plants...red or white, once the start, they just don't stop!
Matucana madisoniorum v. albiflora
Matucana madisoniorum ssp. pujupati
Melocactus violaceus
These produce 5 fruit for every one flower! it's crazy...i keep picking them and they keep growing them!
Monadenium montanum
Opuntia dillenii
YES! an Opuntia flower in October!! (actually i think it was the last few days of September)
Pachypodium saundersii
(P. lealii ssp. saundersii)
This is one of our sales plants, seems to be getting started before the collection plants...hopefully they coordinate and bloom together, so i get to pollinate them all.
Piaranthus geminatus var. foetidus
Nothing special until the flowers open and then ya can't stop looking at it!
Plumeria
No idea what species or hybrid...but i like the color!
Rebutia muscula
I haven't taken many pics of these..dunno why, as i swear they've all had flowers since March!
Stapelia variegata
(Orbea variegata)
Stapelia flavopurpurea
Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele ssp. krainzianus v. minimus
Funny how these all work as a team. We have a dozen or more on the sales tables and when they bloom, they all bloom at the same time. Syncronized blooming?
Lophophora williamsii
How can something this beautiful be banned!
good show man
