Ackermanii is blooming again. It also has 3 more buds. I can't wait.





The first pic was in the wee hours of the morning and the 2nd pic is later the same day.

Linda, is that one from cuttings off my old plant.....I remember talking to you about it but I do not remember if I sent you them. That would be the one that I had identified by the Cactiguide.

No JB, this was 1 of the first epies I ever bought online. It is probably about 10 years old now. It does have many babies though.

We were away for a few days. Our pink NoID was blooming when we got back.

That is a lovely plant.

Pieces keep breaking off and I stick them in pots that had iris seedlings in them (but they died). Nothing special, just sticking them in the potting soil that is left. One of those has a bloom on it. It reminds me of the scene from Fantasia where the broom just keeps multiplying.

You hit the nail on the head Carl. It is just like Fantasia. Here's a pic of my cutting bench containing cuttings from last Nov - Feb. Half from my own stock and half from my neighbors plants. Why I did, I don't know. (And that's just one of my greenhouses)



Here is my latest - Schinnerer

Ah, but then they become 50lb. monsters....

That is why I hate myself when I get another one. But, I just did get Vista Sun and Rick Rac. Why I have no idea.

That's great JB, are they plants or cuttings. Vista Sun is one of my favorites and I just spotted the first bud coming. Do you know of any secrets to getting Rick Rac to bloom. I've had mine for years and never a sign of a bloom.

Just found this one this morning. Its from a cutting I got from California so I call it Cal NOID Complete Orange. Contrasts nice with Grand Prize

Oh so Pretty!

Wow Mike! That orange flower is huge. but ing. Thanks for posting.

Cuttings from Logees. I have no idea how to get Rick Rac to bloom but i am going to do my best. It is a nice size and has new growth on it. I am praying for a bloom by next year at least.

Our NoID light pink bloomed. Not the best photo. It was in shade with a bright background. I tried with and without flash.




I got a better photo of our pink and orange NoID.

Today's display

You are killing me!!

You make me want to go feed mine again. LOL

Beautiful, Mike!
