The Rabiea has some slight markings due to the low temperatures where it was before I got it.

I love these mesems.

Makes you think that spring may be on its way ---- beware the "beast for the east" though.
Lovely plants!
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Very nice Ernie. Unfortunately my greenhouse will not be seeing any sun for a couple of months it may be warmer in built up areas but there is not a lot of direct sunlight this time of year.
Regards Keith.

Not enough sun today for flowers to open, but 20 minutes under a T5 fluorescent light and they start to appear. Has been flowering for the past 2 weeks and many more to come.

Active grower of caudiciform succulents and mesembs. I don't really grow cacti (very often).
