Jazz, only SOME crypts like the crushed limestone or dolomite. C. affinis and C. usteriana are two that like those conditions, start another thread and give us the list that you get and we'll each tell you how we are growing them. ok

Personally, I like the one thread per flower (species). Makes it easier to track.

I agree - someone searching on the forum can easily get to
the species specific pictures etc if its single thread per flower.

Maybe we should start a thread for each species as someone flowers them and we should post our own pics of that species under them with cultivation data and without congratulatory commentary.
