Re: Euphorbia who?

pulvinata? Hi Anttisepp, I have looked at loads of further Eu.pulvinata. They seem to be very varying, come with loads of leaves or much less so, but they all have common the looks from the top & in 99% or so htey all have seven ribs. I think you were right after all. Oh, and don't miss this fr...

Re: Aloe roeoeslii

Thank you for sharing. Without the name tag & at first glance I had thought this might be an Aloe vera.
Are you an Aloe buff?
What is the specialty of this species, please? Curious minds wanna know. :-)

Good luck with your nice kindergarten.

Re: Most delightful fragrance in cacti?

E.... who?
Echinopsis oxygona and Escobaria vivipara...? :-k
Thanks, George. Those sound as if I should put them on my wish list.

Re: Cacti & Succulents - Botanical Garden - Liège - Belgium

Hello Ohugal, thank you for posting those interesting & great pictures. Somehow they are very touching -- more so than pictures from a perfect park with perfect, "polished" plants. They really make use of every possible space, don't they? I like the scattered light in those greenhouses...

Re: Cactus ID: 7 years seed grown

Hello Dave,
that is a real good picture you added here, & a good description. I learned a lot from it. Besides those are wonderful plants! =D>
Where do you keep them with all that bubble foil around, is this a kind of "provisorium glass house"?
Thank you,
Nachtkrabb

Re: Help identifying please!

Hello Cactusnewbie98, your description with counting the spines & telling about their colouration is very good. Wouldn't expect Pilosocereus pachycladus as those are quite wooly around the spines. There are many cacti with a blueish-greyish skin. When I was here in the forum for a wile, one guy ...

Hello Tadacacti, sorry, your name is not clear to me, never heard it. For clarification see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pedro_cactus: San Pedro cactus may refer to several species or infraspecies of cactus potentially containing mescaline, particularly: Trichocereus macrogonus var. pachanoi, s...

Re: Euphorbia who?

...hmmm... looked at some pictures: pulvinata has loads of leaves, this one hasn't. The leaves visible belong to it's neighbour, a Eu. cv. Cocklebur. So, definitely no. pillansii : Do they have such explicit slender columns with a ball at the end...? Couldn't see that in the pictures available. Othe...

Euphorbia who?

When my plant was very young, next to 16 years ago #-o, it was diagnosed as a Euphorbia ferox. Today I realised that this is not well possible as it doesn't have enough spines. The spines are reddish when young, later greyish. All stems I counted have 7 ribs. They start as a miniature bubble (someti...

Re: Identification of bulb succulent?

Hello George,
would you mind adding another picture of the caudex? -- I can't discern if they are structured or not but if so how.
Are the leaves flat, or do the have a C-shaped or a D-shaped cross-section? (Hope that is the correct word.)
That would make things easier.

Re: Mini Stapelia...?!

Hello Greenknight, I can understand you. I for sure did not want to bring any plant back with me at all -- but when I saw that, I couldn't say 'no'. It was the only one on a couple of trays with miniature plants. Just hope they really make it through the winter... What a pity that I can't send you a...
