If anybody wants a plant and comes up with the name I can source the seeds or plant for you.

Bought a cactus and a succulent at BBG Cactus is E enopla and the succulent is K Tomentosa ....what is the E and the K short for so I can look them up properly? Tomentosa is quite strokable, reminds me of lambs ears. |

E= Euphorbia (be careful about the sap)
K = Kalanchoe
Where did you get Echinocereus pectinatus v rectispinus from?

Yup, found it. I'll see what I can do.
The Hatiora can be found at some GC's but I'll see if there is a Nursery that has them.

SL, done a bit of research at lunchtime. E. pectinatus v. rectispinus has now been renamed as E. dasyacanthus. I have to say that I didn't recognise this variety of pectinatus. Have a look at www.echinocereus.de/galerie/index.htm and tell me what you think. |

The Hatiora will be a plant though. Seeds are not available but it is so easy from cuttings.

SL, do you want Rhipsalis grandiflora? I've plenty of cuttings and it's dead easy. Can flower at Xmas. See home.clear.net.nz/pages/grant.bayley/rhip.htmlAlso google Kalanchoe manginii. I have a large plant of this and it is quite spectacular early spring. Dead easy as well. I can let you have cuttings. Both are hanging plants. |
