Re: Argentinian Pyrrhocactus
Wonderful flowers, I especially like picture no 2. The petals are so numerous and flamelike.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Re: Argentinian Pyrrhocactus
That's how Pyrrhocactus get's it's name Liz (pyrrho Gk. = flame + cactus) a reference to the flowers on some looking like flames on the top. Also Pyrex tableware, meaning it was flame or heatproof, derives it's name from the same source.
Nice plants Jens.
