"Fat Plants" : cacti,succulents, caudiciforms, whatever..

[K-D Keller]

Great Pediocactus K-D. Very  nice flowers . Do you grow this on his own roots ?
(and unheated ?) 

Yes, I grow Pediocactus from seed on his own roots. In a frost free greenhouse not colder than 0 to -1C.

At the recent FCHS Plant Lovers' Fair I bought some cuttings from Attila Kapitany. After a month they all appear to have rooted - so now I just need to get them identified!
I know that the one with long thin leaves next to the label is a calandrinia and the club shaped one is an euphorbia.
Any other suggestions?
cheers

A bit late as Easter was quite early this year, some Easter cacti are flowering. These are just tiny pots but all of them have a lot of buds/flowers - a white one and a pink one are a bit behind and still in bud.

Last Weekend our Cactus and Succulent Plant Club VKW had its annual
Cactus and Succulent Show with Plant Sale at Korb near Stuttgart.
There was a good offer of fat pants, home plants and some Alpines.
One of the highlights was a grafted cristate form of Pachypodium brevicaule
but the price of €2oo was not quite cheap.

Some amazing-looking plants there Rudi!

Hallo Rudi,
die Plapp's waren doch bestimmt auch dort. Hatten die Stapelia glanduliflora im Angebot?
Hat jemand White-sloanea crassa im Angebot?

[ruweiss]

Hallo Peter, die Plapps waren wie immer gern gesehener Gast bei der Korber Börse,
ich weiß aber leider nicht, ob er die Stapelia im Angebot hatte. Am besten mal anrufen.
Wegen der anderen Pflanze muß ich mich mal umschauen.

Peter, I would recommend you to contact Dr. U. Tränkle and Dr. F. Hübner, they have an
enormous collection of Ascleps. See their homepage www.asclepidarium.de

Super plants, K-D.
I have added the names to the text so the search facility can find them.

Echinofossulocactus erectocentrus SB1565
(from North of Tanquecillos, Nuevo Leon, Mexico)

PS: The cactus still has the original label of the supplier and is misnamed as Stenocactus erectocentrus SB1565 (which does not exist).

Hallo Rudi,

Friedericke Hübner und ihren Mann kenne ich schon einige Jahre persönlich. Das Angebot ist bekannt.
Bei der JHV der IG-Ascleps verkaufen die viel bessere Sachen. Aber Stapelia glanduliflora und White-sloanea crassa bieten sie auch nicht an. Sind eben keine 08/15-Pflazen.

Our cacti enjoy the sunshine and the higher temperatures
after the unusal cold and wet spring. We grow them in pots
and they spend wintertime totally dry in the unheated Alpine House.
