linuxman Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I've cleaned out one of my greenhouses and put all the S. flava together. As some of the plants grow quite tall and the greenhouse has low eaves I've lowered the staging by nearly 1 ft. I'll now be able to see the lids but think of my poor back! There are almost 70 plants on these 2 benches with S. oreophila at the far end if you can see them. I've some serious dividing to do when Spring comes. In the coming months I'll include all my photos on this thread. Thanks for looking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossu Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks ada. No space for me either, something's got to give!Well if either of you are looking to offload any spares, I would be willing to do the decent thing and help you out with your space problem! I'm amazingly charitable that way!Still got some space in my greenhouse. Need to fill it up so I can hold my head up high in these forums and complain about the lack of space!

linuxman Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Something a bit different this time. I've never been very successful with dionaea but these few have survived my clumsy attention. Dm. BimboDm. Bristle ToothDm. Rouge SombreDm. Miss PembecheDm. Shark's ToothNow, something completely different. I was given this rather ugly cactus many year's ago and it had never flowered. But over the last few weeks a bud appeared which has developed into this. I think it'll be worth keeping the cactus just for the flower. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
