Hello! I brought home a Kalanchoe in 2016 that was labeled Kalanchoe luciae , so for all this time I thought that's what it was. Then, in 2022, I brought home an unnamed Kalanchoe from a local greenhouse that I thought could be a K. thyrsiflora . However, that one flowered and turned out to be a K. ...

I agree it probably M. compressa from the photo and description on Llifle of M. compressa f. bernalensis. Which is a synonym of M. compressa. I think the descriptions of the radial spines and central spines on the website are backward, though. I didn't ever think it was an M. tlayecac because I thou...

Thanks. I saw the links you sent before I came here. Thanks again!

Thank you DaveW. I really appreciate it. I posted photos of the Mammillaria as well.

Hello. I have a perplexing issue with a couple of Mammillaria I brought home on December 2. Actually, I brought home four unlabeled plants but I found the names of two with no problem. After looking at a lot of photos and reading descriptions of different Mammillaria , I was facing the fact that I m...

This cactus has 5 whitish radial spines and 1 darker central spine. Photo shown for the "former" Mammillaria compressa f. bermalensis on Llifle (Encyclopedia of Life) looks like this plant. Description says it has 3-5 central spines and 1-3 radials... Even the photo looks like the opposite...

I just brought this pot of three cactus home. The label just says "CACTUS". Each one is approximately 1 1/4" tall x 1 1/2" wide.

NICE!

I have two of them, one is the cultivar 'Snowcap'. There offsets come up from the bottom not up the side. Thimble Cactus.

Hmmm... My other Mammillaria vetula ssp. gracilis doesn't look like this...

Hello folks! I recently picked up a few unnamed plants. I have them all named now but this one. I would appreciate your input.

Just wanted to make an update... I contacted Kelly Griffin, the creator, and he said it is an x Gasteraloe. He said Aloe haworthiodes hybrid crossed with a Gasteria carinata form. He said he named it for the intro to Rod Sterling’s Twilight Zone with the floating stars coming at you like driving in ...

LOL! It would be easier to keep up-to-date if we knew the parentage of the hybrids. Thanks for the reply!

Hello everyone! I was updating plant names and information on my blog and noticed that some websites were calling Aloe 'Twilight Zone' a xGasteraloe. Soooo... Names change quite often so I thought I would see if anyone here knows for sure if 'Twilight Zone' is officially an Aloe hybrid or an xGaster...

Ahhh... Good to know. So, is there an infraspecific name for this form? None listed on any plant databases I could see.
