A few flowers from today

Post by Ali Baba »

The Sulcorebutias are at it (or should that be Weingartia's)

Sulcorebutia hertusii, most un-Rebutia-like when not in flower

Image
One of the forms of S. krugeri

Image
S. roberto-vasquezii seedlings flowering for the first time

Image
A double-act: Astrophytum myriostigma and A. coahuilensis, easy to tell them apart when in flower

Image
Mammillaria (cant remember the name off-hand and the label is buried under a mound of offsets :grin: )

Mamm. lenta - it likes to be pot-bound :wink: Should be okay in that pot for a little while longer!

Thanks Tony [emoji3]though if you saw the pot from the top you might change your mind, it's definitely a rhombus

Sulcorebutias were going mad here too, but mostly burnt off now. I like the "hairy" ones.

No Astrophytum flowers though, but buds are coming.
