I would say that it is not flowering size. While I have not yet raised one from seed to flower, I have not seen Ario fissuratus flower at that size. Mine seem to have grown some wool on the top for a little while before flowering. I'm not saying you should take what I said as a guarantee, but it is ...

Thats awsome you all had fun and got such great plants, i wish i could have stayed in line on this but due to money issues and health problems and everything else going on i had to step out very sorry :( I have sooooooooooooo many plants i could have put in the box.. Hopeful things will be better f...

Oh my gosh! That's crazy! Glad everyone is okay. Sounds like it took some skill to go from a u-turn to nearly crashing through your house! I do hope you get some really nice landscaping out of this!

I'm sure you meant Contest 83. :lol: :oops: :oops: :oops: My bad! I'm sorry about the confusion everyone! I did intend for it to say contest 83, but apparently I wrote contest 82. ](*,) Thank you for pointing that out Majcka - if you hadn't done that it probably would have gone on without my notice...

Fall flowers - a lovely way to end the summer. While I prefer spring and summer as a season, I do look forward to fall to see all of my Ariocarpus bloom. Fall can be filled with flowers as well - as many of you have demonstrated. The question is, which photo should win? To view all the submissions, ...

I just like the idea that most people think of the fish when you mention tuna, and the look of shock and horror they make when you replace "jelly" with "tuna" in contexts where the fish would be disgusting. But I'm sure the tuna jelly is delicious. I have never had it but I have...

K.W., You certainly have an amazing collection of plants! This may seem like a strange comment, but I can't help but notice the large Astrophytum asterias in the background that looks like it is imploding on itself, in the following photograph: and today 66984 http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/16/32/30/7...

Hmmm... peanut butter and tuna sandwich! I brought some of my tuna jelly to our local Cactus and Succulent Society Club meeting for people to sample and a couple people mentioned the same idea. I'm allergic so I won't be the one to try it, but if you like peanut butter, I imagine it would be very g...

I just sampled the finished product on some crackers and I have to say, it turned out delicious!
I was worried that it wouldn't be any good, or that the texture wouldn't be jelly/jam-like, but it really turned out perfect in my opinion. I couldn't be more pleased!

I started by harvesting ~65 Tunas (Opuntia fruits) No, I'm not making jelly from fish! Opuntia fruit is called Tuna. I harvested the fruit off of a huge, old, Opuntia englemannii var. linguiformis (Cows Tongue) that lives on an old abandoned property near me. It is just a plot of land now, and has b...

Same here, however Succulent Guide works now. Just be patient, I'm sure it will be worked out, but I'm also sure Daiv is very busy right now. Thanks for all of your hard work Daiv!

That is very cool! Neat!

I am thinking the ROUND ROBIN is finished and the box should come back to me. If anyone is interested act quickly! I hope everyone that participated had fun.. Next year should be even bigger and better! Thanks for the opportunity to participate! I had fun and got some nice plants out of it! It's to...

Congratulations Tony! Great photo!
