sticky fingers sticky fingers friday may 23 2025 come a long way reading the old blogs back when i had few enough plants to pay attention to them all makes me wonder how i got here now i have so many that lots are neglected for weeks and months at a time not forgotten but just not enough time to tend to them so carefully there are some that i always notice and types that get more attention than others but maybe i should shut my eyes and do a big sale out to hold back only what i have no excess of and make space for the ones that want to grow and mature i have so much seed now that doesn t get down it s terrible will it happen let s see posted by jamada at 2 12 pm 0 comments tuesday march 05 2019 they grow up slowly today i happened to be browsing some of my old pages i found this blog and i was so inspired by how well i used to do with my seedlings that i have decided to continue i couldn t figure out how to log in so i started a new blog then i figured out how to get access and i m back i ll figure out something else to do with the new blog maybe the plants that aren t cacti or other succulents since i ve been trying my luck with a range of other things i am calling it green leafy fingers what has happened with the cacti from seed though is that the biggest plants end up taking a lot of attention away from the smallest plants i am proud of the fifteen year old plants that i have grown from seed and their success but i need to share my attention and energy across plants at all stages of growth and just so this is not all about text and no images one of my favourites astrophytum ornatum glabrescens about ten years old posted by jamada at 10 12 pm 3 comments friday june 19 2015 some first flowers loving the new blooms that show up as my collection matures some first blooms this summer mammillaria neopalmeri melocactus concinnus mammillaria mainiae hamatocactus sinuatus mammillaria zeilmanniana coryphantha maiz tablasensis mammillaria dioica posted by jade at 7 26 pm 5 comments monday june 08 2015 mammillaria dolichothele species i have a fascination with these species with prominent and distinct bright green tubercules some of the members however have me uncertain of how they fit in but i figure that it is the bright yellow flowers so here are some of mine in bloom or otherwise mammillaria sphaerica generous and willing bloomer this m sphaerica grows but hasn t flowered for some years now nor will it clump mammillaria camptotricha this is my own id for this plant it hardly stops blooming and regularly creates offsets dolichothele baumii on y one is willing to bloom while the others just continue to clump dolichothele uberiformis no blooms to date on any of these but i am still ever hopeful mammillaria longimamma i think this has bloomed once but whatever i did right i haven t done again mammillaria balasoides beneckei two varieties no problem with blooming just hoping that i will get some fruit with viable seed dolichothele decipiens fo 140 mammillaria melaleuca from seed under this name but i think it is the wrong id it doesn t exactly match the m longimamma so it remains in my collection as melaleuca until someone can give me a better option posted by jade at 11 45 pm 1 comments sunday november 02 2014 mammillaria sartorii this species was one of the first that i successfully brought to flower from the first assorted batch of seeds i got from the uk in 2004 unfortunately those seedlings fell prey to theft and i determined that i needed to get this back in my collection so in 2011 i started over with a batch of seed and here is the largest of them blooming for the first time surprisingly the smaller ones bloomed last year but only the occasional single flower or maybe two but this one was worth waiting for i expect to be enjoying this for at least a week something to open every day mammillaria sartorii posted by jade at 9 21 pm 2 comments tuesday september 30 2014 astrophytum blooms so i have started to feel that i m not doing too badly with astro s anymore it used to be that whenever i would pot up a seedling it would get vexed and keel over on me now i am having better luck in growing them up and keeping them alive to reach blooming size this summer several astrophytm senile v aureum have been blooming and amazingly i have no photos of an open bloom the closest is this one from seed 2007 despite the fatc that i brought an open bloom into the house last week then went off to work without taking the picture too late by the time i got home astrophytum capricorne sowed 2007 has shown a few flowers this season my only surviving astrophytum myriostigma from seed 2009 bloomed for the first time this year i missed the first flower but caught the second one today quite by chance but i am happy posted by jade at 11 13 pm 1 comments saturday september 20 2014 obregonia denegrii this is one species that has always fascinated me i got two plants in 2006 but one didn t adjust to this climate and my treatment and instead chose to leave this world the other has slowly grown but seemed to have come to a halt in the last couple of years maybe the growth has just been so slow that i couldn t see it happening what a surprise to see it bloom this summer twice so far moving the plants really seems to have made a huge difference i guess everything happens in its own time so this was the small plant in a 3 pot when i got it in 2006 grew to fill that pot by 2011 now in a 4 pot and blooming this summer patience really is needed for these types of species i have two small ones nurturing from seed sowed in 2007 that are now about the size that ths was in 2006 does that mean i have another 8 years to wait to see them reach to flower posted by jade at 8 07 pm 1 comments monday september 08 2014 hello yellow yellow blooms are always so cheerful there have been quite a few over the summer from a range of species astrophytum senile aureum dolichothele baumii mammillaria heidiae mammillaria sphaerica thelocactus setispinus weingartia platygona posted by jade at 11 32 pm 0 comments friday august 29 2014 this has been a floriferus month so many blooms to enjoy this month some i have shown already but many are hidden away in my files this week was a first for echinopsis werdermanii sown in march 2006 lovely pink i think i have only once before ever had blooms from mammillaria baumii but this plant bloomed earlier this month and is flowering again now this is one of the smallest my ten year old mammillaria albicoma has blooms on one head only hoping the rest will follow suit before the season is done several pink purple mamms showed their colours mammillaria insularis sowed 2008 mammillaria sheldonii like mammillaria matudae sowed 2006 mammillaria hubertmulleri sowed 2008 mammillaria boolii sowed 2007 i am expecting some turbinicarpus to open up this weekend so i will share those when i can such tiny plants with such powerful blooms always lovely posted by jade at 9 52 pm 0 comments sunday august 10 2014 working on the little ones today i managed to pot up a tray of seedlings mostly about a year old or so from the sowing pot to a 128 cell tray about 1 square or slightly smaller i m looking forward to seeing these grow up without mishap although i know that losses can t be avoided a variety of species with a few turbincarpus echinofossulocactus coryphantha among others and while i know that it is not good to deliberately create uknown and unrecognised hybrids i couln t stop myself from cross pollinating these two lobivia hybrids that were blooming this morning hoping to get fruit with viable seed to grow more babies love these lobivia flowers posted by jade at 6 04 pm 0 comments about the challenges and joys of
