Does that mean that my plants can be labelled with those field numbers or is it possible that they are variations of the specimens to which the field numbers were given? The source of my information is the Field Numbers search engine on www.mammillarias.net under Michel Lacoste. If this is the case, can I label other ...

The description of M. mieheana (Tiegel) took my attention. The article says that the pictures in Pilbeam's and Reppenhagen's book are not mieheana, but a form of elongata. Further the autor says that in our collections most of the plants are not mieheana but this form of elongata. The real mieheana was rediscovered in 1999 by Lina and Josef Schmid. After 70 years of the discovery of mieheana, ...

I received a few years ago seeds from M. Lacoste from plants collected in the wild from Jean Marc Chalet ( JMC 2062 ) which he called morganiana ( the 2 right ones on the picture ) . Last year, I visited the H. Rogozinski collection and bought the left one on the picture. He gave them this name: aff. saetigera Rog 432. In my opinion these are the same plants. I think that Rogozinski has it by the right end because they doesn't look morganiana like. ( you could see ...

The plant, along with 2 others, came form Bill greenaway. Bob Standley has the same plant with the same name but his seed came directly from Lau in 1988. I have seen his plant in flower and it is the same as the one above. We both belive these to be M. bocensis. These do not look like the plant of M.marksiana that is in Pilbeam's book, page 182. The location for L0621 ...

They include M.tezontle ML690 and a number of Repp field collections. To be honest I forgot I had ordered these so it was a nice surprise when they landed on the door mat this morning. I have never ordered from here before. Has any one had seed from here in the pass and how did you find the germination.
