| Exceptional. I have obtained 2 recently and one is showing buds, so I see that I really have something to look forward to. Hopefully their flowers will overlap and I can pollinate them. |

| Welcome to the group, mr c. I sure hope you enjoy your little Escobarias as much as I do mine. I was fortunate to see these in habitat once upon a time. Al |

| Hey-- it's Mr. Cleaver! Small world! (Eriospermum came back from the tuber-- been meaning to send a picture, but I've gotten behind on email.) Al-- Your plant is a little jewel! |

| ariole - My 2 have gone wild and started blooming profusely. So many blooms from such a small plant, this variety is a worthy of any collection. I would like to see them in habitat, it is always interesting to see how they develop under natural conditions. ooojen - A small world after all...Conophytum season will be in full swing soon. How are your Erisopermine anyway? I was at a show in CT recently and saw a pot full of them. They were brought by Matt Opel from UCONN, I was lucky to have met him. To any who might be interested in Escobaria minima, be sure to purchase them from a reputable dealer who grows from seed. There are many to be found on the web. One day they will build a Wal-Mart where these plants live (one county in TX) and that will be it for them. Until then leave them there. |

| Thanks Jen. You always have a kind word. And a discerning eye. I'm really happy to know your plants are doing their thing with gusto, m r. Lotsa flowers is always special icing on the cake. Al |
