Are they from an animal shelter?
Yes, that's two sweethearts!
Both were captured as babies near a factory.
Together with their mothers which Beate then castrated.
Lilly & Leo live with us in the apartment.
Frau Klein lives in the company and can go whenever she wants.
(But since 2012 she is there and does not leave. :wink: )
So the three do not know each other.

Lilly is quiet and a little distant. Leo is a dedicated craftsman. . .

Good evening Aeonium,
I bought the small group from Ingo Breuer, that much I remember.
I'll go to the greenhouse tomorrow and see what it's called.

Best wishes

K.W.

Good evening dear cacti-friends,

today a few photos from 9.February 2023.
The last few days have been quite cold, frost day and night.
Now the temperatures slowly go up above freezing, during the day.
But - the sun was visible nine hours a day!
And in the morning in the cold the moon. . .

I can sure relate to the sun warming the greenhouse. Yesterday was sunny and I went to my friends commercial greenhouse to help him out a bit. I was in an unheated greenhouse for 2 hours and was sweating. All I was doing was attaching hanging wires to filled pots prior to planting. Not vigorous work at all. I was up there again today for 1.5 hours doing the same, but it was cloudy all day. I was chilly in the greenhouse and wishing I had my hat with me. Outdoor temps both days pretty similar: 45F or 7C

Hi Jerry,

yes - glass houses are a great invention ( but also make us sweat. . . :wink: )






Good evening dear cacti-friends,

today part 2 of the photos from 9.February 2023.



Like some fruit?

Nerium oleander

This plant I got last year, the mite infestation was very strong.
But the mites are gone and the plant grows normally again.
