Are you sure it's a Yucca? It looks kinda like Agave Filifera/Parviflora.
Don't mean to confuse the issue further sorry!

Re: cactuspro digital library
Thanks for that Dave, I stand corrected :oops: .I was unaware of Terry Hewitt's death, and the movement of the Lamb's Collection to The Botanic Gardens in Spain.I know that the books are from the seventies and that the Lamb's would probably have died by now. We have lost so many great Cacti Authouri...

Re: My flowering Cacti 2020
You are certainly in the right place for growing Cacti, Hegar. Its nice to see all your plants flowering, thanks for sharing them with everybody on this forum. We don't have the same conditions as you here in England. It was so sunny here today, so I decided to put some of my Cacti outside in the su...

Re: What type of cacti are these?
The plant with flower remains left on it lower down is a Mammillaria not sure of the species?
about the other one it could be some sort of Cereus but not sure.
I'm sure someone on here will be able to ID it for you

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln

I believe the German Royal Fami...

Re: What species do these 2 cacti belong to?
I have E. (Chamacereus) Sylvestrii the red form but there are loads of cultivars, mine is kind of spirally too, seems quite long stems compared to some others I have but they vary from clone to clone.
Some Coryphantha look like Mammillaria whilst juvenile but I still think its a Mammillaria

Same with some Mammillarias. Mammillaria Surculosa does for sure (I got caught on mine a few times) probably some of the hooked spines ones too. I've got a few 'nasty' ones are only too willing to get ya if your'e not careful LOL

Re: IDs please
No 2 looks like Aloe Brevifolia
No 5 looks like a juvenile A Ferox
I say 'looks like' because it hard to ID Aloes accurately
No 6 looks like Aloe DeWinteri
No 13 looks like a Lampranthus
No 15 is a Pachphytum
Hope this helps
