Adenium arabicum

This is one of the few Adenium's that did not frezze out two years then we had a cold spell.
It is also one that doesn't flower that often for me.

It does get a bigger base then Adenium obesum but the flowers are a bit smaller.


This is my last post until I get back from  2012 Bromeliad Society International World Bromeliad Conference.
See you their.




 

 

Hechtia montana

Hechtia montana comes from the San Jose del Cabo area in Baja California, Mexico.
I don't know for sure but it is said to grow to 24 - 36" wide, my plant is not that large.
Very white looking with teeth with a bite.




This is a hard one to root from a offset.
The the first Hechtia montana I got was a offset and it never rooted.
This is the second plant I have but it came with some roots.
It's doing well in full sun.

Orlandiana 2012

Who all going to Orlandiana 2012 the 2012 Bromeliad Society International World Bromeliad Conference ?

 

I have been looking and looking and looking some more at all my plants and can't seen to find anything to enter.

What to do?

I have to come up with 5 plant for the show part of the Conference.

I grow all my plants outside  with no protection from nature. All  have some kind of damage to the leaves or dirt so deep down that I can't get at.

I guess I will  enter the best of what I have and take the hit from the judges.

One more thing, I'm not good at cleaning up plants for a  Bromeliad show to begin with.

 I was also thinking about entering photo's instead of plants. Photo's I can do, they will look OK but not win anything big. But I'm not sure if I can as the rules say seller must enter 5 plants.

I was thinking about entering this photo. What do you think/
