Uebelmannia meninesis HU 108 Pedra Menina + RNK 54 Tromba d´Anta. Few pics, not long speaks ... once in October 2023 + once in October 2006

 Boys, girls, kids, today  pics and short speaks...

Sometimes is better to say less, people who know me appreciate it !

But it looks once in October 2023 in the site we didn´t see any blooms at that time, late we came... But blooms are not the main beauty in the genus Uebelmannia !


That´s it on the HU 108 site, 4 - 5k to the hill  from Pedra Menina (why they call it meninensis, I don´t know...)



It is neccessary to be well prepared for three months long trip to Brasil. Beautiful ladies, nice plants and the scale of the little box is app. 5 cm of diameter, you can measure all ...This pic is Uebelmannia meninensis RNK 54  from my 2006 Brasil visit



and now pics, type form HU 108 from 2025, pictured by KKK (Kryštof Kristán Krajča)




Mr. KKK

artificial light and you can make pics all the night !






And now few pics Uebelmannia meninensis RNK 54 (6 k from Santa Joana, Tromba d´Anta) from 2006 trip, as mentioned . It was my three month old trip alone, only with my friend Arthur, mountain bike ...I had plenty of time, Kryštof and other clones was still "the future". Photos I made by my old Lumix, not bad camera with good camera lens. Where is now, I don´t know. In this time I have only Nikon 50mm lens for making product pictures, as my work. And what? I was so lazy to taky it on my 2023 trip, so I am grateful now to my son he made 2000 pics on his handy called Nothing. Not kidding, this is the brand of mobil and it looks, not bad quality. Well, stop speaking, only pics show !

And we start with juvenile meninensis period














































Adam Ant and somewhere others ants ...everywhere !


not from me, little different ...
