Delosperma sphalmantoides flowers

My marshmallow plant has blossomed and there are even more flowers to come. I consider this a good sign for the conditions at my new place :)


PS: Just to let you know that I'm out of seeds to send to you by now... There should be more with the next harvest.

Neohenricia's tiny flowers coming up

Image
Only several sunny days and it's mostly cold and dark again. Good thing Neohenricia sibbettii doesn't need sunlight to open its flowers.

Last time I've waited for a month and as nothing happened put one of the seeds (that I still could find) in the pot where I've just sown the new malherbei bunch. It hatched shortly after. And now, another month later, the seeds from the new bunch are starting to hatch. This way I have one seedling growing first true leaves and all the others just one day to one week old. The leaves look like Faucaria at this stage but it's normal. :) Ah, I think I got it! I germinate different species in one pot and make a moist environment during they hatch. After a month I let the substrate dry a little because the other seedlings don't need it anymore - and that's when the A. malherbei ha...
