i swear i’ve scrolled through all 57 species and could not find one that matches 💀 the flowers and leaves say glottiphyllum without a doubt but i’m convinced an ID is impossible. drives me nuts, it’s one of the only ones i haven’t figured out
the flowers have a nice scent. kinda like vanilla and honey
omg. it surprised me with two at once, and i see 3 more buds on the way.
quinaria and papyracea
listen y’all. i’m used to slow-growing plants. i’ve raised mesembs and astrophytum from seed to adult.
these guys are *orders of magnitude* slower. for months they were barely visible green specks. they seem quite happy now and have gotten much larger, an exciting second stem on the quinaria, but the scale of these photos is ridiculous. each of those pebbles is a millimeter. it took 10 tries to get clear close-ups
my gibbaeum pilosulum are finally shedding their cotyledons! i wasn’t expecting these fuzzy guys to be so big already underneath.
i hadn’t realized that the warts on a titanopsis are textured. what’s their purpose? maybe to collect condensation?
hi all! these are like 3rd generation offsets of a plant i got around 10 years ago. any idea what they might be?
one is crested, the first time that’s happened spontaneously to one of my plants. last two pictures are of the cluster before i had to separate it.
