ID please

Can anyone provide a name for this Euphorbia?
It rarely decides to put any new growth on and has only just decided to flower.

Re: id please Solved

Any ideas what this is?
It was a rescued piece lying on the ground in Fuerteventura some years ago and has now flowered.
Unfortunately it is disappointing and has no scent. I guess it is some form of Epiphyllum?

Re: Conophytum x marnierianum

I have only 2 Conophytums, both with lost labels.
I wonder if the 1st is Cono. x marnierianum and the 2nd, Cono. bilobum? I hope the Cono. experts can confirm.
Both are super.

Re: Useful Tips & Tricks

Here is my tip for seed sowing. I put the pot in a soup pot, (the fresh soups sold in most supermarkets now.)
Easier than using a plastic bag, which need support and easier to see what's growing, or not.

My 3 Sulcorebutias.

Cacti ID please.

After browsing this excellent site for several years, I thought it was about time I contributed and ask for help in identifying some of my plants. The first is I think Gymnocalycium denudatum ?
