Cacti and Sukkulent in Köln, every day new flowers in the greenhouse Part 275

Good evening dear cacti-friends,
good evening Jose and Vladimir my friends,

last winter I lost maybe 40 plants. . . That's a lot and I'm sorry for each one!
But on the other hand, I'm talking about 0.5%. . .
Then the sorrow is put into perspective.

Of course, things can always be worse than expected. . .
I will come back to that.

Today and the coming evenings I would like to show flowers from May 30, 2022, big pardon, a lot of flowers!!!


I'll just get started. . .

Good morning, K.W.
The loss of plants is inevitable, after all they're living beings. It is a good reminder that we cannot control everything around us.
That "wall" of Echinopsis must be breathtaking when in full bloom!

Good evening dear cacti-friends,

a new evening and another part with flowers from June 30, 2022.
Some photos of plants in the outdoor-dining and some from the greenhouse.


Already it starts. . .

Sulcorebutia really lights up the greenhouse this time of the year.

Good evening dear cacti-friends,

after a few days of recovery from all the Sulcorebutia blooms. . .
Today some more photos from May 30, 2022; 4th part Sulcorebutia flowers. . .
But it is not exclusively the flowers, the thorns are also so wonderfully diverse.
Have fun with the little plants, in the 5th part there are Sulcorebutia flowers. . .

Good evening dear cacti-friends,
I hope you are all well and have survived my Sulcorebutia attack well until here. . .?
Today comes with the 5th part of the Sulcorebutia flowers the last challenge.
In the further post's there are then completely "normal" blooms of completely "normal" other cacti.
Nevertheless or because of that have fun!!!

I was asked. . . My Sulcorebutia live in the outdoor-dining.
They like a lot of wind and fresh air.
Direct sun, but maybe not all day.
Plenty of water and fertilizer at the time of growth and flowering.
In winter, cool to minus 5 ° Celsius from time to time.
Dry from November to March, but if it is mild in January or February even a light "rain".
AND fresh air, air, air. . .

Good evening dear cacti friends,
today the 6.part of the flowers of June 30, 2022.
Without problems I could still show part 7 and 8; but I will not do that.
It is already the middle of June and there were so many beautiful flowers this month. . .



Now some photos from May 30, no Sulcorebutia - my word of honor!
