How's it hanging? Not bad old fruit.

Post by doctor289 »

Some new addition to the collection.

Couple of hanging species. No idea what they are called as lost the bit of paper from Oscar.

I plan to do quality photographs of my whole collection and catalogue them properly. (Oscar even has all the prices but I am not sure I want to know that)

A rather fecund Opuntia which I will be looking forward to nibbling on when the ripen.

And finally this and I know it is not bromeliadguide.com but this is so stunning thought some of you might appreciate it.

Great looking plants. Can't help on IDs though. I'm guessing that that's a multiple flowers on the Bromeliad. Looks great! TFS.

The bromeliad is an Aechmea fasciculata. I do love them too and they are a favorite houseplant at least in Germany.

I looked at this post several times, wondering... "Who's the Old Fruit?" :lol:

The first "hanger" is Cleistocactus winteri and the second is Disocactus flagelliformis - I'm pretty sure about that.
