Here it comes, one day, maybe two!

Are E. subdenudata self-fertile? Or do I need another cactus?

you'll probably need another, and then get them to flower simultaneously. for this you have to be quite lucky...

Well, if anyone feels like head across a few states, let's get our flowers pollinated!

Thanks Tony. Have any E. subdenudatum yourself?

Lookin' good! Already flowering too!

If you have a spot where you can put a hanging pot in semi-shade, that Rhipsalis would do fantastic in a MN summer. It would love the rain showers and everything.

Nah, our apartment doesn't have a balcony or anything, if it did, they would all be outside overtaking it.

And that's where I'd go to have my cigarettes, instead of traveling down four floors to have one.

PBJ,
nice collection so far.

Looks like you will get some flowers soon too.

From left to right:

Mamallaria melanocentra (before being repotted)
Senecio mandraliscae (when I first got it, and before being repotted)
#3, no clue, they were pups from a friends cactus that never went anywhere.
Mamallaria nejapensis (still in the original pot from last fall, bloomed this spring, and has grown a lot for a mamallaria I suppose)

This is the Senecio now...and it's only been since Feburary/March....

nice looking plants, the pups may well be cleistocactus strausii.

by the way it's mammillaria

Haha, so it is....darn people at the nursery have been wrong all along...

Well, the pups are gone, and have been for awhile, so I'm not worried about them. Thanks though.
