Yes, although the colours on the parent are more striking...

I collected some seeds off my Chamaecereus 'Rugens Abendsonne" (other parent random), and got various seedlings up as result. The first two have now flowered. Nice enough, but no real wow factor...

Thanks, Detlev, and also thanks for bringing me up to date on a few of the finer points!

Detlev's talk on Cactus seeds in colour was fascinating...

That's a nicely spined plant; good flower too.

Nice plant!

The way to tell the genera apart is:

Rebutia: Flower tube and fruit smooth, or at most finely hairy
Aylostera: Flower tube hairy and bristly

Some good colours in that lot...

Sooo many flowers...

Lovely.

Well done.

Plenty here - but what I have lacked in the last few days is some sunshine to get them to open. Last week was better...

Perhaps you had better start writing!
