Les dernieres fleurs de l'automne / End of autumn

This is the last of what I call autumn flowers. The winter bloomers are already started, I don't know why this Fero waited until now. Also, as cool as it is in the greenhouse the plant will have flowers for another month as long as it doesn't freeze. Nights are about 10C, days range from 10C when it is cloudy to about 25C when we have sun. (Mr. Sol is rare in the winter.) Frosts occur when the heater fails. Winter flowers for me are Aloes, Rhipsalis and the Schlumbergera / Hatiora bunch.

J'appelle les fleurs de mon Fero. latispinus les dernieres de l'automne, mais mes 'fleurs d'hiver ' sont deja ouvertes. Avec les temps. frais, les nuits vers 10C, les fleurs duront encore un mois. Les fleurs d'hiver sont les Aloes, Rhipsalis et al.
While I'm at it, I'll add some of the winter bloomers.

This is a Ferocactus latispinus.


Ca c'est A. krapohliana. Il y a 2 hampes totale.


A hybrid Schlum.


Another Aloe. On peux voire un peu de neige de hors. There's a bit of snow visible outside.


A maculate Aloe (could be branddraaiensis, maculata, or another one).


Un Echinocereus apres la gel de l'hiver passee. Il y en a 6 tetes.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for these last flowers
Howerver they are a bit small, even by clicking on the thumbnails I get only a small photo.

Salut Yann. One click makes small photo, you need to double click? I called a friend and asked him to try, and that is what he told me. I am at work where all photos are blocked, so I don't know how true this is. Pete

Hello Peter,

This guy tried to be funny with you maybe.
There is nothing as double-clic in browsers (except for selecting text maybe)
But let not be technical, let's enjoy your photos instead.

D'accord Yann. I'll put direct links in.
