No Ian. It's the photography problem. Lots of light.

Really nice job on the germination, Ali! Lighting seemed to be "spot on", because all had such nice green to them! I still would have left them in the baggies a good bit longer -- unless you like creating work for yourself :wink: I tend to take the "old timers"/baggie seed growe...

interesting!
I've never heard of that!

Thanks Iann! Nice plants!
I think mine is E. occulta, but I have to wait...

I don't think so. It's color and height don't match!

It's one of my friends. Do you know it's name?

I think that's correct

Maybe M. bocasana

1- Coryphantha ? 2- Echinocereus ? 3- Echinocereus ? 4- Echinocereus ? 5- Eriosyce occulta?

It's ok.
Only M. senilis failed.
