Time for Ariocarpus to start flowering! First, Ariocarpus scaphirostris , 23 years old in a 9cm pot: IMG_1606.jpeg Ariocarpus trigonus in a 14 cm pot: IMG_1607.jpeg And Ariocarpus retusus (var. confusus?) in an 18 cm clay pot: IMG_1610.jpeg There are others, but I chose these as the best at the mome...

My very old plant of Lapidaria margaretae flowering nicely:

The first one might be Gasteria batesiana, which is quite a choice species, if it is. Second one is probably the cultivar ‘Little warty’. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can confirm or otherwise.

Amazing! And what a view!

How beautiful, Christian! I wish mine had such huge flowers as yours!

It looks happy enough there, maybe needs a bit more time? Mine has quite a few offsets, but doesn’t like as good as yours!

Nice colour variations, but they’ll need to go under cover with the first frosts!

Thanks all!

Beautiful weather where I am in the South East, with temps around 23°c today, and hopefully staying warm for the rest of the week. I’ve been doing some late watering (fingers crossed!) and there are still quite a few plants in flower, these stood out in particular. Mammillaria schumannii sp. globosa...
