BERGERANTHUS GLENENSIS

This plant is growing outside in a trough and life is not as easy as in the greenhouse. In addition to rain and frost [no snow this year] it seems to have suffered a close encounter with a snail.

ECHINOCEREUS SCHMOLLII






This plant was scruffy but I pruned it which has improved flowering. I know some growers cut back stems only leaving a few centimetres to keep the plant looking neat and to encourage flowers.
