Today I got up and started the transplanting of the new cacti, yes, I went back to buy more yesterday, seriously I don't know what is wrong with me, but well, the best of the day was to see the flowers of two of my cacti, I leave you the photos below.
The intense color of the Lobivia silvestrii flower is just stunning, the flower pops with that beautiful color, and taking pictures is quite simple, the beauty of the flower doesn't need to be edited.
The mammillaria thornberi orcut continues to grow without stopping, apparently it liked the area where I put it since I brought it from the nursery, to be honest I haven't moved it from this place and it receives a few hours of direct sun light, however I think that stimulated a new flowering that I could finally see with my eyes.
And as I said, yesterday I went to the nursery again and I brought some cactus, I also bought some fertilizer to put in all the pots, I still need to identify the plants, but I will do that on Friday or Saturday, because right now I am organizing my things for the two day trip that I am going to do, I talked about it in my previous post.
I didn't take pictures of all the plants, only three of them, but what interests me the most is that I really feel that I am making progress in my cactus care, in fact I feel that aesthetically they look much better than when I transplanted my plants a year ago, for the moment I have not killed any plant and that is a big step in my evolution as a cactus keeper, now what I need is a peyote cactus and I don't know where I am going to get it because here it is prohibited because of its hallucinogenic qualities, anyway I will see what happens.
Bravo! More plants! Your second-last picture is in fact not a cactus but Euphorbia. Cacti are not native to Africa but African succulent Euphorbia are an example of parallel evolution - similar plant forms that are not related. You keep them under similar conditions to cacti, in full sun but most of the kind you have tolerate large amounts of summer rainfall so they can be grown in the garden if the soil drains well. I think that is a variant of E schinzii
I will try to stop myself at least for 15 days, because I have no more space to put new plants haha, and about the ID I think you are absolutely right, it is a great benefit to count on your knowledge, thank you.😉
I love the flowers, they are all so attractive.
Flowers brighten up our days
Indeed (^_^)
Esta florecita es realmente hermosa. Me encanta la intensidad del color y su tamaño, queda perfecta entre el verde de los tallos de cactus. Saludos, amigo @monster-one.
Muchas gracias, la verdad es que sí es una bella flor y justo como mencionas, el contraste con el verde es perfecto, saludos amiga.
