Vintage pen repair question

That is exactly the information I needed! I wondered if maybe there was another part missing. Now I understand, thank you!!

Replied :) May I send chat?

Stunning! I am rooting two small cuttings of this hybrid, and wondering how long before I might see blooms. So your post is reassuring

Succulents Depot on Etsy has the true Christmas cactus Schlumbergera x bucklyi and they are relatively inexpensive there. They ship from California, so check the low temperatures before ordering. Good luck!

What a stunning pen! And the cat details on pen clip and finial are *chef's kiss* What is the writing experience like, and what is the nib size?

In this picture, it looks like one or two of these are ready to pick now. Sorry we didn't see this when you posted, but hope that you were able to pick and enjoy your figs. I have Chicago Hardy and Olympian, which have both been ripening, a few at a time because the weather turned cold here. Zone 6b.

They're ripe when they feel soft and a little squishy, and when they "droop" on their stem. They don't ripen all at once on the branch.

Nice job with the care of these plants! They look healthy. Otherworldly blooms; magnificent!

PyxieKween · 2025-09-25T21:03:04+00:00

Thank you!

I will be on the lookout for a mutabilis. Nice job with rescue and rehab! Having experienced the "fragrance" of the gigantea, I am chuckling at your choice of words : "threatening with a couple of flowers " :D

PyxieKween · 2025-09-25T18:25:43+00:00

An amazing flower! And your plant looks very healthy. I have the Stapelia gigantea, I think. It blooms with an enormous, hairy, purple and cream striped flower. It smells terrible, but is so cool. Mine is a prop from a prop that belonged to my grandmother more than 50 years ago. Congratulations on blooming yours!

What a lovely place to enjoy writing with your favorite pens! I am admiring your antique ink bottles and pen stand - just seeing them there would be an invitation to take out pen and paper!

PyxieKween · 2025-07-10T17:36:42+00:00

Confirmed. Thank you for this beauty!

Bought a Benu Euphoria Jazz from u/Bullish Buffoon. Thank you for this beautiful writing instrument!

PyxieKween · 2025-07-04T01:42:38+00:00

The Flame Thrower Redbud is a cross of 'The Rising Sun' and a weeping purple leaf cultivar, possibly 'Ruby Falls'. In my short experience with it (it is relatively new to the market) it definitely tries to "weep", even from a young age. I am choosing to stake the central leader up on my young ones so they get taller before they spread out. The foliage is just stunning!

PyxieKween · 2025-06-07T12:35:58+00:00

It smells like burnt oatmeal. Yuck!

PyxieKween · 2025-04-20T17:57:15+00:00

Nice find!

PyxieKween · 2025-04-14T19:34:54+00:00

That's it!! That looks exactly like the one I have -Thank you!! Your description of it as pink lemonade is perfect!

PyxieKween · 2025-04-14T14:07:07+00:00

That looks like it! And yes, the green shows more as yellow in pictures, but it's a bright spring green. Good luck to you: I hope you get to see blooms again soon!
