That particular Rhipsalis makes small whitish berries with no flavor. The fruit in the pot in the pic are from the Melo. (There's one still hanging on the top.) The hairs on the cephalium are so tight that as the fruit grows, it is forced up and out. The fruit are hollow and tasteless, and few seeds are inside. Rhipsalis species. The large stems are one species, the gold flowers belong Hatiora (Rhipsalis) salicornioides, and the white flowers and small green stems are the third species that co-habit with the Melocactus. I've had houseplants since I was a kid. Some followed me around the country for 10 years, but the majority became succulents in the mid 90s. With the internet came the opportunity to find formerly obscure things like cactus seeds and people who were growing more than they could want. The 2 things go hand in hand. I still have many plants that are 20 years old, including an Espostoa guentheri that is now about 9ft. tall and reaching the roof of the greenhouse. Anybody want to come get it?

Reminds me of echinocactus grusonii that's been grown in too much shade

Those are gorgeous,tell your wife she did a good job.TFS Kathi

hi Have succulants to swap but no cacti I have kalanchoes red, cerise and orange. I have aptenia cordifolia in red and yellow. I have mauve pig face, orange pig face and red pig face. Would accept anything you want to send me as I have never owned a cacti but recently was given 4 shiny ceramic pots in square shape that with white pebbles might make interesting cacti sort of holders. No worries if succulants are just not your thing. Sincerely Jacqueline. My contact email is different to taht on my profile and i cant seem to work out how to change it it is jacq@jacqdar.com.au. Oh and if any other readers would like some of my cuttings as freebies to the gardening lovers world just email me.
