Epithelantha polycephala~~Does anyone have this plant? Or info ?
Comments (5)Wow! That is a beauty. When I read your post and saw your photo of that lovely plant, I remembered seeing Davide Donati post on XericWorld.com about his & Carlo Zanovello's article on genus Epithelantha in the Italian cactus society's magazine Piante Grasse. So I did a little searching and here it is: Davide Donati & Carlo Zanovello: "Epithelantha F.A.C. Weber ex Britton & Rose" Davide Donati has been so generous as to make his article available free of charge. I notice he's authored and published a book on Epithelantha in 2011, too. I notice the article mentions E polycephala on 6 pages, and it has full English translation. It even has a full color picture, which seems to show an entire cluster or clump, rather than a large stem with a lot of branches as you have here -- not that it matters! Only to say, that photo doesn't seem to answer your specific question about whether a bunch of branches on one side are "normal". Your plant certainly looks healthy to me (caveat I know nothing about this genus except skimming the paper and seeing some examples at shows). -- DC in L.A....See MoreDoes anyone have Sicilian Bifara Fig Info? Italian Beefera?
Comments (12)Hmmm, so it is actually an Italian word that refers to the actual brebas and not the fig type. Very interesting and thank you! So, would the word "Beefera" be the same meaning as "Bifara"? Depending what part of the boot Italians are from, there are so many different dialects that now it makes me wonder if Bifara and Beefera are the same meaning just spelled differently because of dialect differences. If only I could of retained the Italian my grandmother and family spoke when I was younger, I may have know this! LOL! So maybe there is no relation at all to Sicilian Bifara and Italian Beefera, and they only share the same type of breba habit and not the same type of fruit habit. I did see the Italian Beefera for sale from Adriano's Figs, but he only ships to Canada :( Maybe one day I will find it and can compare to the Sicilian Bifara just for fun. Again, very interesting info! I have read this forum for a long while, and just did not post much. But now I may start to come out of my shell and post more often! You guys are so knowledgable! Thank you so much! Christy...See MoreDid anyone pay attention to Glenda’s post?
Comments (16)ravencajun, haven't you previously said you most often use tablets? I encounter more website problems on all kinds of sites with tablets (and we have both Android and iPad varities), and more consistently and frequently so, than I ever do with a PC. Maybe there is site-producing software that's more android/IOS friendly, and some that is less so? Or more Firefox friendly and less so for others? I know for my employer's website, you can't use Chrome. Don't even think of it. I've asked and they just suggest using anything other than Chrome. A few years ago, before they restructured (and re-coded?) the site, Chrome worked great but you couldn't use Firefox. Now, they've switched, Firefox works fine....See MoreDoes Anyone Have Info on Charles XII, Ley's Perpetual or Octavia Hill?
Comments (14)The jury is still out on Charles xii. I (foolishly) got two. One grew very quickly,but produced only bull-heads and deformed blooms. I moved it; since it was a basically huge ,mature plant even after only a few years, it is only this year starting to "come back",so I can't comment on its' flowering. Subsequently,I tried other roses in that ex-Charles' spot (changing the soil and adding organic matter, of course), and they did badly,. That soil is basically very, very heavy clay,so last year I tried again re-doing the bed with new soil ,organic matter, and this time adding those red pebbles of volcanic rock to the soil, figuring that the organic matter, once it decayed, wasn't sufficient to aereate such heavy, heavy soil, whereas the rock wouldn't decay. The new roses seem to be doing well, I'm pleased to see. The other Charles was in another bad spot (there are so many in my garden, lol!) and did not grow maniacally fast. I recently dug it up and put it in a big pot, and will see how it does. I agree that it is suspicious that a rose that seems to be so beautiful and is said to be prolific is not grown by seemingly anyone. Personally, I would never order plants at this time of year,unless perhaps I intended to keep them in pots in the shade until Fall. I figure that, even if September is still hot, the days are shorter, and the weather will sooner or later improve, whereas now the worst of the heat has yet to come....See Moreeld6161
