Cacti and Sukkulent in Köln, every day new flowers in the greenhouse Part 43

Good morning dear cacti friends,

do not punish me. . .
No thorns, no flowers, just greenery and buds.
And, of course, unforgivable, no Mammillaria.

Photographing the Haworthia makes quite a lot of effort,

they can be incredibly fast. . .
But some I've caught during their siesta, then keep quiet. . .

Good morning Derek,

I don´t know. . .
But if You think, that it is M.sphacelata - I will name it!
I found this plant in a garden market under a sale table.
It was a 2cm rootless cuting. . .
I have stolen it. . .
Don´t tell. . .


Thank You for the "name" Derek!



And now the second part of the photos from 20th of april.

Hi K.W.

That's exactly where my plant originated from, a "free" cutting from the floor of a garden centre! If you have Pilbeams book of Mammillaria look at p.275.

My greenhouse is now a riot of blooms' with the arrival of some welcome sunshine over the last few days. I wish I had your good photography skills to be able to show them here as well.

Regards Derek.

Good morning Derek,

sometimes life is really incredible mystery!
Both plants from cuttings from the bottom of a garden center. . .

We had the last few days also quite sunny weather, they bloom again. . .

I really have no special skills for photographing.
A digital camera for 99 €, Sale. . . and no idea of anything. . .
I would be delighted if you could show some pictures!!!
I'm really very curious and always interested to learn what new. . .



Best regards

K.W.



P.S. Pilbeams book I don´t have. But a friend of mine has it, will take a look. Next week or the week after.
