Plant of the Day

Monday 22 May 2023

In the cacti house of Inverness Botanic Garden the Mammillaria hahniana (old lady cactus, old lady of Mexico, old lady pincushion) was forming a crown of flowers. The stems form a globe-shape covered in fine white spines and white down.

My plant skills have really come into their own. Good fit for the hot and dry Utah summers. • #letthemdryoutbetweenwaterings #brighthotsun #oldladycactus #agave #dragonsblood #firestickcactus #donkeytailsucculent #gumbycactus #thimblecactus #hensandchickens #pricklypear (at Master Mortimers Magic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGWbpPBLM_/?igshid=ktq41zzb6bdx

I haven’t grown succulents too long, but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. I love how diverse they are in form and growth habit. • #oldladycactus #pricklypear #firestickcactus #gumbycactus #agave #thimblecactus (at Master Mortimers Magic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBzMXQZB9KR/?igshid=1srn9d77g8pqp
