Best day of the year so far for flowers

[ralphrmartin]

Loads of Rebutias, Aylosteras and Sulcos in flower today:

Glorious! Way ahead of those in my coldframe, they are only just starting to develop flower buds....

[Aiko]

Looks like you are the only one with room to spare for at least twice the amount of plants!

[juster]

A lovely display of many plants Ralph, thanks for sharing.

Same here. A fine display Ralph.

They are probably ahead as I couldn't resist watering them on a sunny day in March!

And as for space - well, by the time I have finished repotting them a couple of times - that will be the end of my space.

Lovely! You cant beat Rebutias in my opinion

You can always make cuttings of them when they outgrow their space Ralph!

What an amazing collection, I love them. I have been obsessively checking for buds on my Rebutias. I have a hybrid called 'Alex' with pretty big buds but I think it's going to be a while until any species flower.

Very nice Ralph, so far this year all I have in flower are the Stenos and some of the Turbinicarpus.

You are too far South. Move to the sunny North!

Seriously, I suspect the good light here helps, as well as my early watering.
