Great pics Bryan. Looks like it was some really quality plants there. Very nice Dyckias. They are Not as easy to grow to show quality as some may think. I like the Curly Slim too its one of my favorites.
Good Show Bob

I love the silver dyckia. Hard to find them to purchase let alone grow for shows LOL

That Tillandsia is amazing. It's Curly Slim? What is it potted in? I was under the impression that they needed to be mounted????

I think these pics are a little biased Bryan. Most of those are yours haha!

I'll add my own here too.

Best in Show

Very nice pictures of very nice plants! I specially like that Neo wilsoniana rubra of yours, Bryan!

And Chris, did you make that johannis x carcharodon yourself? I like it, but which carcharodon did you use? And those fosterianas in the Best in show pic, do you grow them in full sun? Mine does not look nearly as nice and they get a fair amount of sun. Are they straight fosterianas or hybrids?

Japie

Bryan, what do you mean "I don't remember" with that Tillandsia photo. You're being paid big $$$ to remember!

Excellent stuff there. Thanks for posting.

Best in show ...makes me go....hmmmmm

Japie, where are you seeing names for Chris' pics?

Not sure what Gonzer's talking about either. Am I missing something? (it wouldn't be the first time, LOL)

ok back up a little all of the first set is not all mine but a lot are. The batch in chris' is not his. The johannis x carcharodon is mine but I didn't make the cross. The curly slim is not mine but a friend. It is growing in a mix of bark and hadite. The best in show was another person in the club it is orlandiana. I think she grew in full sun.The last picture in the decorative container is crypt warasii which is mine and all of the dyckias are mine

Hi everyone,

Thanks bryan69 and chrisn82 for taking the trouble to potograph the show plants and then post them for us all to see. It's just like being at the show, and what a nice cross section of different plants to look at.

All the best, Nev.

Nice looking stuff! I wish our show season wasn't over in our neck of the woods. Now you guys got the big one to look forward to.

Lisa - It took be a bit to figure it out but if I clicked on Chris' pictures you can see the name once you view it in photobucket.

Ahh....... thanks Mike, I thought I was losing it there for a minute! ;-)

re: Japie's question about johannis x carcharodon: judging by the lavender tinge and distinctive leaf tips of the plant in the pic, I'd say the "johannis" in question is not at all what we now consider to be N. johannis, but rather the old misidentified cv. (which, according to Harry Luther, is really N. coriacea). That tends to put a time frame on when the cross was made, so based on that I'd guess the "carcharodon" used was actually N. pascoaliana.

Please post names just above pictures.

I'm an old granny and concentration not good!

Thanks

After jumping up and down about plant names...I forgot to say how beautiful they all are and please post more.
Thanks.

wow never heard of hadite before...

For some reason, while I tagged the photos I posted, they do not show when you hover the cursor over them. You have to click them to see the names.

And by the way, NONE of the plants I posted are my own. I didnt do any hybrids of anything shown here.

While Im not entirely sure without hunting the info (which Im feeling lazy about), I believe johannis x carcharodon is named Peregrine.

You've got yer wires crossed there Chris...
Neo. 'Peregrine' is johannis x concentrica, not carcharodon.
...Don't think there are any registered hybrids with those parents, which seems surprising ?
