I've put this thread in the wrong section really haven't I? What a fool...it should be in the GH section I suppose... Crikey, I managed to move the thread without it all vanishing into the ether.....  |

Top one isn't Mammillaria.....
Looks like an Echinopsis. Can you post a bigger pic?

That's beautiful - and the other ones too. Your conservatory must look glorious. Do any of them have a scent?

My conservatory is an appalling mess! That's the only little area with any flowers - the rest is covered in seed trays, dirt, cobwebs and wellies.........I am not just saying that too..... The leaf scented Geranium is really strong - really minty. It's gorgeous..and I've just rmembered its name! Tomentosum....pepperminty - s'luffley..

Lovely 4P! My mammillaria bombycina (sp?) is flowering for the first time since I had it (3 years)...hopefully in future years we'll have a little ring of pink flowers around the top...this year we've just had 4..I think I need to rotate the pot to encourage an even distribution of buds in future...nice surprise tho...My camera work just isn't up to taking the pics tho...  |
