Lovely flowers. The leuchtenbergia principis is beautifully grown, with no dry ends, if only mine were like that. What is the tiny plant in the pot with it, a weed I am sure?
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Lovely plants, Jan. Although very common M. matudae is a personal favourite, so neat. :)

Looks like you've got those Baja Mammillarias working for you. I like the M. fraileana flowers.

I did not realise that these had any geography in common until just now. Baja Mammillarias - I guess many of these are. I just grow whatever will grow.

And here is one more blooming yesterday - Mammillaria dioica

Definitely a weed. I have been keeping the L. principis in standing water and this weed grows profusely. I weed out but it grows back - although I have far less of it now than previously so eventually my efforts to get rid of it will pay off.
