I have watered!
Me too apart from Astrophytum and a few other choice cactus.
Ariocarpus look better already, not a proper water but light splash
for cactus

Loads of flowers now in the greenhouse - well, one at least.
Titanopsis calcanea
The whole plant is about an inch across - for scale, here's the plant in its 2¾" pot.
Actually there is a second plant in flower, one of the Echeveria 'Blue wave' flower stems did't quite make it to the flowering stage last year, but survived the winter without drying out and is now starting to do it's stuff.

Cloudless sky all day,
I too gave them a light first watering yesterday and what a nice day it was. Hopefully it will brighten up a bit this afternoon as we were promised a couple of nice warm days here in London.
Regards Keith.
