Colourchallenge - Wednesday Yellow
The name Glottiphyllum is derived from latin and refers to the tongue-shaped leaves of these mesembs although in one local language, the vernacular name translates to tortoise fodder The plant pictured here is still rather small but it is flowering because it was grown from a stem cutting instead of seeds. This species of mesembs are very easy to grow and although the leaves are easily damaged, they are spectacular when they are larger.
If you have a hot, dry climate and don't over water them, these can be grown in a soil mix with a high proportion of potting soil, many mesembs do prefer a fairly organic soil mix although it all depends on local growing conditions.
Gorgeous!
Lovely! I would like to see what the plant of this flower looks like. 🐓🐓
I'll be sure to post it when it's bigger although with winter coming up, it may slow right down for a few months
It looks like to me a beautiful flower. And the picture is cool. Well done.
Oo is that a big bloom?? Or small it looks massive from the photo
It isn't that large, it is a macro but the flowers are larger than most mesemb flowers
Ahh I see, lovely shot!
Very nice photo, this is a great shot. love the centre pollen activity. You can never get board of flowers.
Very interesting plants. Unfortunately, such flowers do not grow. The climate does not allow.
It's not easy to grow flowers here without using a lot of scarce water so I stick to these
I haven't seen a flower like this before, its really pretty and I like the shape of the petals.
The swirl is unusual for a mesemb, normally the petals are straight like daisies
Its petals look like ribbons. Beautiful capture
