Re: Coryphantha kracikii x 3

They look great and a good size for 15 years; for some reason I thought they were much slower. Fingers crossed the tickling worked...

Pleased to see these... the plant is on its own roots, and it has been flowering for a couple of years now.

Re: Cumulopuntia subterranea ssp. pulcherimma

Thanks Ralph! I might move it to the allotment greenhouse rather than keep it in the cold frame at home, for more sun and heat. Perhaps that will sort it out.

Re: Thelocactus heterochromus

It’s a really nice plant! With the Thelos I have I always get the impression the flowers grow larger over the time they are opening…

Re: Cumulopuntia subterranea ssp. pulcherimma

Both nice forms, I wasn't aware of the "original" one which looks rather desirable. Any tips for getting this to flower? I have a large plant (of the Incahuasi form, I believe), but it has yet to oblige.

It deserves a bit of pampering given the winter it got through... Amazing how resilient your plant turns out to be!
