P. laueana (from Curious Plant)
I see a flower starting.
More P. laueana 'CP3' flowers.
This is the 3rd time in a row it's flowered.
I dunno what @WillyCKH did before he sent these to me, but it just keeps getting bigger and keeps flowering!
P. ehlersiae 'Victoria' about to go crazy.
P. martinezii
Rosette out shines the flower by a wide margin, but might try and make a cross with something.
My final laueana is blooming.
Only the new ones from BCP are yet to bloom, but I don't count those (yet)
The name is as it was written when I got it. Not sure what it exactly references, but it'll be interesting I think.
Just this one and the other one laueana (C.P. clone) left, but both are pushing up flowers!
Decided to repot some of the larger varieties of pings into larger pots. Some of these are not in summer rosette yet, so I expect them to fill this tray in the summer. The P. 'John Rizzi' was a big bully in the last tray, and crowded out it's neighbors before it split into 3.
The P. gigantea have their own dedicated tray, so none in here.
No one wanted these for a few years and I accumulated a large amount. So last year I gave them away is a bonus plant and after I gave a bunch away, a couple people ordered them and I over committed. I ended up left with one single plant. And it's now divided so I'm back at 2 and feeling a little better about it
Time to clean it up divide it and repot.
This is the green leaf version which is nice as well, but I have lots now.
P. esseriana 'Buena Vista'
Have so darn many, had to make a large pot. I'm sure by fall it will be an overgrown mountain, like every other pot of these ones. I have 7 other pots of this one as well. It has been tolerant of every possible soil and light change.
Also somewhat fragile, so there were plenty of unintended leaf pullings.
And here is that flower stem that fused to a leaf on a P. 'Aphrodite'
The final laueana that was putting out a flower had bloomed. Hard to capture on camera but it is a salmonish colour. A little bit more on the red side in my opinion. The photo makes it look really red but compared to an actual red one it's not.
