Huernia thuretii

This is another form of Huernia thuretii, with striking maroon striping on the flowers. However, the plant is very similar to the one with unmarked pale yellow flowers known as H. thuretii var. primulina, and considering the range of markings seen in different populations, it seems reasonable to do away with recognizing var. primulina as a separate entity, as Peter Bruyns has done in his comprehensive book on the stapeliads of southern Africa and Madagascar.

Pseudolithos gigas

四角いからクビフォルミスだと思っていたけど、お花の形からPseudolithos gigasという事が判明。

今年はなかなか綺麗に咲いたところを見られなかったので、嬉しいです。

ミグイヌティヌスでは来ないハエが、花の順番待ちをしてました…💦
