I realize that you are with two different e-mail adresses on my list, one
beginning with slearn@..., the other one with martink@... Is the first one
no longer valid?
All Ping. macroceras have fully recovered! Two specimens are in flower
(which will allow me to get seeds), in the other ones the flower buds
rotted which is normal if plants are transplanted in the preflowering
stage. The last 'old' leaves are now decaying and the plants developed all
new leaves. Substrate: Each 25 volume percent of serpentine sand, granite
sand, loam and vermiculite (no peat or other organic compounds).
Have a good season! Juerg
