    My xmas cactus is blooming again (or is it a Thanksgiving cactus) either way, its bloomin' and It's pretty. :)

    Also heres my Easter cactus eith buds on it

    Well I guess I'm still not a 100% sure how to use the pic part of this but the first pic of the xmas cactus was replaced with the Easter cactus PLUS the Easter pcactus pic having its own spot. So i had to add another of the xmas. Anyone know how to erase a pic AFTER its on your post but BEFORE you hit submit?

  • 11 years ago

    Spike: A bit dark to be safe to say for sure but it looks to be a Euphorbia milli Are those Gasteria in the pot as well ?

  • 11 years ago

    Sorry about that it's e.milli Thai hybrid those next to it are aloe aristata and a young agave royal spine.

    Or after posted via the forum edit, you can use edit and keyboard (keeping an eye on the cursor) use the backspace key ?

    I dunn no but it is the way I just deleted a flowering kalanchoe

    And here it is again

    Whats odd to me is how picst changes sizes after clicking on submit

    I dont know ive tried getting the cursor to the photo and hitting back space and then it just jumps to the text before the pic, thanks for the suggestion though. Maybe its just my phone. (Or operator lol) :)

  • 11 years ago

    Maybe some Sediveria
    Do you have a picture of the plant?


  • 11 years ago

    Almost...


  • 11 years ago

    Duel pic uploading Maybe type some wording in between the first pic and then up load a second pic If that works would also think just hit the space bar a couple times for each pic uploaded..

    what are you trying to say? - which post are you referring to???


  • 11 years ago


    Princess Kelly epiphyllum - several orchid cactus plants are blooming for me now, but this is a new one that has bloomed for the first time for me. I got the plant two years ago. Several more new epiphyllum also have buds and will be blooming later this month.

    My Aloe plants continue flowering. So is the Graptosedum 'California Sunset', but you really can't see the flowers.


    This E. pulidonis (or possibly E. agavoides) has continued to flower, even while I am helping it fight off mealy bugs that have tried to move in.

    And in another category - my plumie put out the first blooms today! And they smell great!


  • 11 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Crenda, I think it is a E agavoides . That does look like it could be an E. agavoides. It is kinda green for a Pulidonis. also the calixes and the base of the flowers have a tinge of red. The E. Pulidonis they stay green till the very end and even then they are greener than that. The flowers look a tad more lemony because of the lack of tinging. I will post a thread comparing the two that I have. later. I am cleaning like a crazy obsessed person.

    Is that a Aloe doratheae in bloom on the left.

  • 11 years ago

    I look forward to seeing your two plants for comparing. Yes, the one on the left is Aloe dorotheae and the one on the right is Aloe rooikappie.

    ALL are so beautiful. The yellow with the red throats is really cool. and the Chamacereus. Yum!!!! And Spike . I better move my E. bonkera if that is the size of the bloom . It needs top billing. Right now a prickly pear has upstaged it and has it in its shadow.

    Aeonium 'martian heads' ^^^^^

    Sanseveria downsii


  • 11 years ago

    nil
    you have many different blooming sans - very nice; and a. martian heads too...Rina


  • 11 years ago

    Well then here's another one for you, Rina. Sanseveria pearsonii 'Skyline'


  • 11 years ago

    nil, Thank you:-)

    In your climate, I would imagine they are kept outside - what are the lighting conditions and your watering regime? Are they in gritty? I have just couple of different ones and they are fine, but not as vigorous as yours...Rina

  • 11 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Yes, they are kept outside. Lighting and medium vary. Some are on a covered patio in shade, some are under 50% shade cloth, 70% shade cloth, some get part sun, I even have one S.pearsonii in full sun. They are all in an aggregate medium. The trifasciata types get some bark. The desert types get pumice and a little turface. They get watered about once a week while growing.

    Rina



  • 11 years ago

    A small group of Aloe 'Firebird' in a community pot all decided to bloom in unison. I love the tangerine color of the flowers. And my E. agavoides in sneaking into the picture as well.

    last modified: 11 years ago

    So much variety! Nice to see different collections from everyone.
    Here's one I'm glad to see turned out to be what I hoped it would be.
    chamaecereus Unikum

    Not sure what this is, but, it is prickly.


  • 11 years ago


    Jatropha cathartica, and it's blooms up close. This thing keeps growing out more flower stems and has two seed pods about to pop soon.

  • 11 years ago

    Dorstenia radiata


    And just a plain Ole Easter cactus, but still exciting to me since it's my first time getting it to rebloom and not bought already in bloom.
