And thank you for the very interesting information on your Cereus - it's amazing how plants react when taken out of their environment. Unfortunately I've now had to remove my Cereus as it is regarded as an invader here in south Africa. Thanks for stopping by, appreciate your visit!Maree Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274329795088706720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240544453697104058.post-38800863518363746252012-05-08T07:33:58.616+02:002012-05-08T07:33:58.616+02:00I know Kathryn, these also only flower a couple of...I know Kathryn, these also only flower a couple of times a year. The problem is, it spreads into the surrounding veld and threatens our natural vegetation. Currently this pest cactus is under complete biological control - A mealybug, Hypogeococcus pungens, and a stem-boring cerambycid beetle, Alcidion cereicola, from South America, were released against it. So there you have it - it's no use controlling my own single plant, because the seeds get dispersed by birds, that's why they're so strict here.Maree Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274329795088706720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240544453697104058.post-16677424885903225592012-05-08T00:24:27.536+02:002012-05-08T00:24:27.536+02:00My Cereus jamacaru blooms almost every month in su...My Cereus jamacaru blooms almost every month in summer (wich is basically half of the year...), when the moon is full and it's about to rain :) Maybe because those are its original lands (Brazil, northeast)<br /><br />Really lovely watercolor, I'm considering getting it tattoed.AnaLu Medeiroshttp://petitcahier.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240544453697104058.post-69915521037381660892012-03-10T18:06:47.787+02:002012-03-10T18:06:47.787+02:00DON'T CUT IT DOWN!!!
