Fantastic Hans

How do you manage to look after so many, and is this greenhouse heated in winter?

And what an amazing stapelia David. Does it smell nice?

Hi Hans,

Hans that's an amazing amount of colour, it must take you ages looking at all the flowers. I to was thinking is there anything that you don't have.

Hans I do not understand when you say you have not room for a small Tillandsia recurvata, in its natural environment growing attached to the cacti. I think I'll take a piece for you!

Alberto

Hans J · « **Reply #162 on:** May 25, 2010, 08:13:36 PM »

Alberto ,

the room for Tillandsia is no problem ....but this plants are for me weed ( same like Dyckia,Hechtia.....)
and please look for the nice flowers of cacti

Alberto · « **Reply #163 on:** May 25, 2010, 08:18:29 PM »

Hans I have Tillandsia xiphiodes flowering now and its fragrance is in the air when you pass by it! Definitely I'll took a piece of T. recurvata for you. I have seen that seedlings of the Tillandsia are growing among the prickles of my Nyctocereus serpentinus and Aporocactus: like in the wild!
