Mikethecactusguy ; You have quite a collection!

Beautiful flowers on the Opuntia! The pencil cholla, what a great fence they would make!

Have to say that the spines are more impressing than the flower but fun to see the flower. Must be interesting to repot such a plant..

Unfortunately the Pencil Cholla grow into a very bushy plant. The segments break off easily like most segment plants. The flowers are impressive for me since these were cuttings 4 yrs ago. Here's another flower from today.

Good evening Mike,

your plants are getting more and more and more and more beautiful! Bravo!

You can never have enough lithops ( and Pleiospilos ). . .
Such wonderful little plants - beautiful when they bloom, but also always beautiful with their various colorings and designs.

Best regards dear friend,

K.W.

My wife asked me when will I feel I have enough plants. As long as I keep finding unique plants, the collection will continue to grow.

2 years ago I thought I had killed this Melo when it got sunburned. It did start to grow but really lopsided. Well, all is good. My first melo to mature and start to grow a cepheleum under my care.

I transplanted Mickey Mouse to a very large bowl 30 days ago. He's happy. All the new "ears" have been growing.

Nice Mike. Glad you have the space for the big guys. I have to stay small.
