It's been about a year since I started doing cactus and mesembs (succulents like lithops and conophytums and a bunch of other stuff you've probably never heard of) from seed. What have I learned in a year and change?

Well, there's been a lot of murder... )

Bear with me here, because I know that problems of taxonomy are not the sort of thing you probably want to read about. But this is kind of interesting and also it's the sort of thing I want to talk about. Again.

I would apologize, but I am not sorry. )

In the exciting world of plant updates, I have News.

Read more? )

Regular readers are probably aware that I am growing cactus from seed. I've covered that. But perhaps you would like to know more?

Knowing more awaits you! )

So I'm doing cactus, right? We're all following along with the baby cactus thing, which is one of my Current Enthusiasms. And when you are in the realm of "buy cactus seeds" you don't get to do stuff like "balloon cactus" or "bishop's cap cactus" or even "golden barrel cactus". If you are buying cactus seeds other than generic mix, you're going to have to play Scientific Names.

Great. I am good with Scientific Names. I have a college degree. I know about Scientific Names from playing dragonflies and stuff. Genus, species. I am on board with this.

Not sure where you are going with this, but okay... )

Sure you would. It's very exciting, it is, and I'm certain you're all on the edges of your seats about this. Thrill a minute content around here, for sure.

So, without further ado, let's get to it. )
