Red or White Blooms? Meet Matucana madisoniorum in my cactus greenhouse collection

- What an amazing coincidence! One of my favourite cactus species, Matucana madisoniorum, originally from Peru - shows it's blooms...and the two plants that I have in my cactus collection show them on the same day, at the same time! A "normal" red-coloured... and a much more rare, white-coloured version of the same species, side by side! Enjoy this awesome experience with me and tell me whether you have a favourite?
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for sharing.....they are both beautiful. 😃
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Fully agree, both are so beautiful in their own ways!
WOW Joe :-D absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so wonderful that they are both flowering at the same time too, they must have been saying to each other 'Let's bloom together' haha :-D so gorgeous to see both the red and white blooming in perfect harmony with each other, thanks so much for sharing the beauty with us Joe, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria from across the Emerald Isle for a blooming amazing afternoon XXX
Thanks so much Lyn, for watching and I LOVE your awesome comments as always, much appreciated! Yeah, so interesting to see how these two perfectly synchronized their blooms this year! Cactus magic! Hope you and Hans are having a magnificent Monday and sending you lot's of Plant Power and cactus greetings across from Bavaria to you both on the beautiful Emerald Isle!
Maybe some day, Joe, maybe some day
Hey Bill, no worries, stick with it and your wishes and dreams will be realised much sooner than you think! I am definitely keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend! And hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!
Beautiful blooms I love the orange one
Haha, brilliant Gary, now that's a clear choice! Thanks for watching & commenting!
The red is beautiful, but the white are amaizing, like echinopsis Subdenudata cactus flowers.
Thanks for sharing with us this amazing video Joe! 🌵🌞🏜🌺
Thanks Elda! Haha, they are both fabulous, aren't they? Many thanks for watching and so happy you liked it!!
The white one, it looks so pristine and pure, untouchable!
Hi Jena, thank you, now that's a clear message and preference, fantastic!! I'm very happy that you liked the blooms, thanks for watching and for your awesome feedback!! Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday, best wishes and happy growing!!
Excellent flowers Joe 🙂 I like the Granite chippings in the pots 😎😁Hope you have a lovely evening my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Thank you, glad you liked the flowers and also the granite chippings in the pots, Ziggy! Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday, take care and best wishes my friend!
Gorgeous flowers.
Very hard to pick a favourite.
Both are beautiful. So nice to see them flower together.
The plants themselves also look beautiful, healthy, nice and plump
Thanks for sharing another great video.
Thanks so much, Ted, much appreciated! Yep, I love this cactus, even without the blooms, such a stunner! Thanks for watching & commenting!
I love both , but the white is just striking!
Haha, I totally agree with you, while they are both beautiful, the white one is truly special! Thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful feedback and comment! Have a very nice weekend, and happy growing of course!
Gorgeous blooms, Joe. Ana from Cactus Caffeine has a pink flowered one of these. I’m guessing that’s the result of crossing these two. Thank you for sharing with us my friend. Have a lovely evening from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Hi Daz, thanks so much, wow that is really interesting to read about Ana's pink form! I have cross pollinated these two and will be able to test your hypothesis in a few years time, hopefully, haha! Will definitely let you know!! Thanks for watching & commenting my friend and very best cactus greetings and regards to you and Edith in England and Singapore respectively!! And, indeed, happy growing to you both too!
I was about to say mine is pink. And that Daz thinks crossing these 2 colors will produce the pink. I don’t have the red and white. I will be looking for them to complete the “set”. 😉
Who doesn't like red? But there are two white flowers and they are bigger with more petals. And they are rare. Hmmm...I'll have to think on this one.
Haha, thanks Terry! Definitely not an easy one is it?
You're 😂 cracking me up on the intro!!
Have to watch with my full attention.
-Maria 🎉
Hahaha! So glad you enjoyed it, Maria! Best wishes, take care and happy growing!
I enjoyed the whole video. My dog Zoe insisted she see it too and watched the entire video calmly.
Thanks. Very beautiful and interesting, and I am glad you engaged in comments as my thoughts and comments are here already answered.
Have a great day.
@@user-lu1cr8ty6o thanks Maria, you and Zoe have a great day too! 🙏👍😊🌵🌵💚😎
Very cool looking cacti, with pretty flowers as a bonus. They remind me of Lophophora, except with spines.
Hi Andy! Yeah they are definitely very cool cacti, among my favourites!
I can't decide! I think the consensus will be both. Both are beauties.
Haha, totally agree with you on that one, Justin! Thanks so much!
Both beautiful but for me the white flowers look pristine down to the individual petals; I’ve been gardening for some time and never realised Cacti could have such beautiful flowers; thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Terry! Really wonderful comments and brilliant to read that you are discovering and appreciating the various blooms and flowers of cacti! yep, I agree, that white Matucana flower is VERY special and pristine indeed! Happy that you enjoyed them!! Wishing you a Happy New Year and very best wishes for 2024!
Thank you for sharing these beauties with us! 🤩
Both the flowers and the plants theirselves are gorgeous 👍🏻
I can't decide which one is "better", I would say they just compliment each other very well 😉
I hope that we finally get some sun again in the course of the next week, the last few weeks really felt like autumn here in Kassel (ok, let's mention a positive aspect here: the grass was never so fresh-green during the last summers BUT the days were just so gray here lately and I think that the cacti are waiting for some sunshine too😅)
I wish you a great week ahead! :) I will definitely have a great day tomorrow because of my Palm Garden Trip 😁
Hi Jacob! Have been thinking of you today as you visit the Frankfurt Palm Gardens and hope you have an awesome day there! Yep, with all that rain of the past 2-3 weeks my garden is starting to look like a jungle, haha! My cacti are definitely longing for some sun and warmth again, finally! Glad you liked both these two beauties too! Herzliche Kakteengrüße nach Kassel!
Hello again, I'm currently sitting here in the Palm Garden on the "connection bridge" between the two Tropicarium houses and I must say that the visit is DEFINITELY worth it. I am absolutely flabbergasted by the variety of amazing plants here, such a great collection. I also like they way the put these plants "into scene".
I'm now going to enjoy a cup of coffee and then look at some of the outdoor beds.
Begeisterte Pflanzengrüße von Frankfurt nach Bayern! :)
There was just one thing I missed in the Palm Garden: Astrophytums 😅
I have only seen very few specimens. Do you have an explanation for that?
Hi Jacob, hmm interesting observation, no idea...but in general they are mainly growing their smaller cacti in the botanical collection not open to the public. Because of the risk of theft and vandalism, unfortunately (...as mentioned in my video). Kakteengrüße nach Kassel!!
Cross pollinate them, see what colors you get from the offspring!
Hey Russ, yep that's exactly what I've done and let's see first whether they produce any seeds ti start with, haha!
