Last year’s seedlings – part 1
Posted by Stuart under: Cacti .
Apart from the seedlings that are in the house under lights, there are of course hundreds of tiny spiny plants in the greenhouse. These are the ones that I deemed big enough to fend for themselves through the drought of the winter months.
I think these two pots of mammillarias look particularly attractive with their spines drawn closely together – on the left is Mammillaria perbella ‘infernillensis’, grown from Doug & Vivi Rowland seed, and on the right is Mammillaria sp. ROG 642, a plant with yellow flowers, grown from Mammillaria Society seed. The ROG 642 plant’s spines catch what little winter sun there is rather nicely.
