September 2016 Blooms

10 years ago

I'll kick it off this time! Just missed the August cutoff, so we're now into September. =)

Neohenricia sibbettii - one of many that smell like fruit loops. Only open in the middle of the night.

Fenestraria rhopalophylla - flower is a little ratty because I kept getting home too late to catch it wide open. Finally got a photo!

Crassula capitella subs Thyrsiflora - so many blooms I can't even count! Kind of looks like a collection of Christmas trees.

Faucaria felina - another four blooms going strong.

Anacampseros telephiastrum variegata - lovely purplish pink colour.

Anacampseros retusa - haven't managed to take photo with the flowers fully open yet.

Duvalia corderoyi - multiple flowers going on at the same time. VERY stinky, even outdoors in the open air of my roof. Really enjoying it regardless.

Let's see your blooms!!

    I have 3 flowering right now! I love the colors, especially now that all my other flowers are dying back...I'm guessing the names of the Echeverias right now so if anyone wants to correct me, feel free to.


    Echeveria Andromeda?


    Gasteria Glomerata


    Echeveria Lucita?

    Ninkasi: I could go for some roast turkey and stuffing :-)

    My last flower of the year (bet you're glad)? Blooming really seems to be cooling down. And the pig Opuntia have been shriveling for a few weeks--maybe a early winter? I hope not.

    Don't know about my plants/labels. This is supposed to be Schick 'Samahdi' but looks nothing like the Huntington catalog picture. I like it but it looks more like my 'Antimater' which doesn't look like the catalog picture either. Oh well, here it is, first time bloom. (It does have a spent flower, but somehow I missed that one)

    notolover, what is the name of your hairy cactus with the dark pink flower?

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    Nancy: I got it from Grigsby Cactus Gardens and it is called Mammilllaria hahnian Super Clone. That's why it's super hairy :-) I like it a lot.

  • 10 years ago

    Thank you notolover. I love it.

    My Fockea edulis. I didn't even know they bloom,

    ewwmayo thanked ywong91301
  • 10 years ago

    Ywong - That's quite the Fockea! First time blooming?

    Pagan - Glad you finally caught it open. What time did you end up taking that picture?

    Noto - I always thought that cacti only bloomed in the spring, but your show of flowers has been pretty spectacular throughout the past many months. =)

    Faucaria tuberculosa

    Faucaria 'Super Warty'

    Many of my Lithops have started sprouting buds now. Definitely signs of fall are here! =)

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    ewwmayo - yes, first time blooming for me. I gave it a drastic trim earlier this year and moved it to a less sunny spot and it fills out nicely and rewards me with blooms.

    Welcome to the first full day of Autumn everyone

    A Kelley Griffin hybrid Aloe, not sure which.

    Aloe (also a K.G. Hybrid)' Christmas carol'may have to flower under lights if it doesn't do it soon.

    A fav that didn't/doesn't flower but has some tight tiny burnt foliage tips.

    Mammillaria blooming right through into fall

    Sort of a shot in the dark with mammillaria, but if anyone knows the exact mammillaria it is... that would help!

    Ariocarpus retusus, first time blooming

    ewwmayo thanked ywong91301
  • 10 years ago

    Kottr, I believe your Mammalaria is camptotricha. Mine has been blooming on and off since June. I thought it was finished but it continues!

  • 10 years ago

    This Notocactus ottonis is very old, but the first time it bloomed. It got more direct sun this year so I'm guessing that's it.

    ewwmayo thanked notolover
  • 10 years ago

    First time bloom for this old German hybrid 'Morgenzauber'. The old hybrid flowers are small, but very colorful.

    And look at these very hairy buds--can't wait for this one to bloom

  • 10 years ago

    Very pretty. I really like the pink/orange combination.

  • 10 years ago

    My first blooms from my Haworthia cuspidata:


    (The next two photos are vertical, so if you're viewing on your phone they may look wrong until you tap on them.)

    They are dramatic, aren't they? Nice shot, Michael. In a few days the stalk will be two feet tall and unphotographable lol

    Euphorbia francoisii, Ceropegia woodii.

    Kottr; may be Mammillaria camptotricha.

  • 10 years ago

    Another flower spike on Aloe rauhii - bit hard to photograph (at least for me :). This is, I think, no. 3 this summer:

    Sorry for posting non-succulent and non-blooming...but the color of the leaves of this Persian shield is as good as some blooms...

    Group shot this morning

    ewwmayo thanked notolover
  • 10 years ago

    Notolover: wow, they really choreographed that well! Do they tend to pollinate each other? (I'm not sure if they're the same species, or if they could hybridize.)

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    Michael19: Yes they are already hybrids so they will cross-pollinate. I try to put them out for the bees when I'm done taking pics and there are a few seed pods outside now. But I have no idea of what the results would be. The ants usually beat me to the seeds--that amazes me since they are in a sticky gunk. I don't have any luck growing from seed anyway.

    Thanks goodness there are people out there that have made amazing hybrids and have saved me all the work ;-)

  • 10 years ago

    Group shot this morning--the one on top is the one with the hairy buds--I was not disappointed.

    Igrida - Really love that flower!!

    I've been hoping to catch a couple of my blooms open, but they start closing up earlier in the evening now that the days are getting shorter. Will try again to get photos. =)

  • 10 years ago

    My gymnocalycium is going again! :D Technically not a bloom pic, that will be on Octobers' thread. This'll be the third round of blooming for this little one, that I thought was a goner a few weeks ago.

  • 10 years ago

    What type of Gymnocalcium is it bunkfree?

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    Kottr, it's a baldianum that blooms in a most marvellous silver-edged hot pink :) I should have put the whole name in above!

  • 10 years ago

    Thanks bunkfree.. I think I have the same variety of Gymnocalycium

    What a beautiful coral colour, Kottr! Here's the last bloom from mine, in August:

    Kd

    It's October already...(at least here in Ontario, lol). Start a new thread with your bloom, just keep it the same/consistent with the name (October 2016 Blooms - unless someone else already did?)

  • 10 years ago

    Rina, technically it's an August bloom. ;)

    I was just showing Kottr my gymno bloom colour, and I wouldn't start a new thread to finish that exchange.
