Hey...congratulations Bryan ! That's a neat plant, and very well grown.

Did you get any photos of other plants in the show...?

Congratulations! It's also nice to see something on the spiney side win top honors.

My deuterocohnia longipetela white form won best terresterial

{{gwi:471041}} Dycohnia June

That BStar is an amazing specimen. Its been on my wish list a long time

This clump of bstar is the original plant that has never been broken up. I just keep increasing the pot size. I'm sure I will have to break it up one day. I will keep you in mind.

Thanks for the thought but breaking that up would be a sin :)
Are you in my next door neighboring state LA?

I am in kenner which is a suburb of new orleans. Are you in Texas?

yes I am south of houston

Are you going to the southwest guild show in Austin in September? I might enter a few plants in that show.

I probally will barring a hurricane LOL

Do you belong to the Houston club?

Yes I do

We just had the Cryptanthus board members over for a visit last month. Several of them are in the Houston club

Yes Carole is one of our members and makes some great crypt hybeids
We just had our yearly show in May

It's odd but we see few crypts down here. Nobody seems to be growing them. And I don't see too many dyckias either. Could be because they are so small. We seem to like the big stuff. Or maybe it's something completely different.
