These are some of my entries. Several appear in earlier blogs so you can follow their development.
Arioecarpus kotschoubeyanus cv 'Pear Pimples' dressed for fall. In summer it is much pinker. Another couple of years should make this a spectacular specimen.
I've entered this as Mammillaria pondi, and also is Cochimea pondi, depending on the show rules. It's a great old plant in any case.
Copiapoa hypogaea ssp hypogaea crest, being shown for the first time in an Erika van AUker pot. It really needs a couple more years, but already loking pretty much as I would like ti to.
There is a geophyte class, and with some trepidation I entered this cyclamen graecum. It is not a genus often displayed at succulent shows, but it is everybit as geophytic as some of the other plants we show. It took a third in a very competitive class.
Echinopsis longispina needs a bigger pot next growing season. A great plant. It should be fun to repot. The spinds are stiff, fragile and sharp.
Geohintonia mexicana slowly growing into a good show plant.
Haworthia truncata cv. 'Lime Green'. Another prize winner, again a third. I sold this two weeks after the show, before it either grew or I realized how special it was.
Mammillaria dixanthocentron Tres Picos Form. I enter this every few years. It's always ignored, but I still like it.
Mammillaria herrerae, entered in the miniature class.
Mammillaria knebeliana (now a form of M. bocansa) entered as a seedling
Mammillaria nourreddieana with a complete set of vowels, and now a form of Mammillaria albilanata ssp. oaxacana
Mammillaria tezontle ( now in M. crinata) completing the set of seedling Mammillarias.
Completing the alphabet is Zygosicyos tripartitus
