a set of blooming mamillaria in the desert house of the botanical gardens.

a lot of blooming mamillaria…so pretty. makes me wish for a glasshouse of my own.

the current star in the garden. she looks quite shabby as i pruned her two years ago severely…realized the next year i shouldn’t have because she did not produce flowers…this year she got the act together. i took these pictures three days ago, now she has even more of them.. @ribizli, this is the rose i was talking about! (previously 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

i have been stalking this balcony for quite long now. it’s on the eight floor, opposite the market hall in the city, facing south. i wonder what kind of people are the owners. notice the huge epiphyllum with the red flowers in the upper right corner! first picture taken 24th april, second one 3rd june.  this is what it looked like last july.

the two bowls (i have posted about them before: 1, 2) sitting happily on the balcony at my grandparents’ house and enjoying the sun.

aylostera albiflora among the other plants. 

[botanicaladventures]

can anyone help me id this plant and maybe some tips on how to take care for it? the seller had no clue what it is and it wasn’t labelled. definately a succulent, but what? edit: apparently it is a hybrid of Crassula pyramidalis and Crassula perfoliata var. minor. Hybridized by Myron Kimnach in 1959 -at least, this is what the majority of the websites point to. i’m happy to learn that it is called ‘Buddha’s Temple’, how cool is that? :) thanks for the help!

portulaca oleracea. this year i didn’t find any yellow ones like last year…but two slightly different magenta ones, and an orange one which is not blooming yet. they are pretty but i miss the yellow one to be honest.

rebutia fabrisii var. aureiflora

[botanicaladventures]

rebutia fiebrigii

[botanicaladventures]

lobivia tiegeliana still blooming. the rather unreal colors in the first two photos are because of the sun, still shining through the amber colored roof, directly at the plants around 9.30 am. the second two shots were made in the afternoon, about 1 p.m and about 4 pm, the flowers were closing up. on the right, the brownish thing is a developing bud on the echinopsis eyriesii.

i bought this sulcorebutia langerii two years ago, and it hasn’t done much ever since, actually the plant looks quite dead…and then it did this. i guess were cool then -
