WHAT A COOL PLANT SORRY FOR SHOUTING πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜‚
@MamaLinne that’s my only one that’s showing those neat cool fissures yet. The others are a little behind. About two years old from seed - they’re pretty fast
@CordialWildyam it’s fascinating. I’ve never seen one!
@MamaLinne oh, have some fun looking at image searches. They can live 75+ years and they can get absolutely huge
@CordialWildyam @MamaLinne oh cool, a caudex plant!! Where did you get seeds from??
@DreamMachine they’re not too uncommon - but I got mine from UnusualSeeds
@CordialWildyam oh my goodness, well that website is just a delight to look through! Thank you for that πŸ€— I already found some species that were on my wishlist, and growing from seed is much more alluring to me ☺️ Thank you for sharing!!
@DreamMachine oh my, yes I maybe should have put a warning before casually dropping the name! Be aware that they ship from Europe. Probably harder to get seeds from there today than it was a few years ago!
