Re: Cactus flowering periods
I would expect to have at least one species of Turbinicarpus in flower pretty much 12 months of the year.

Thanks for the information. Again it may be subject to interpretation .... but to a novice .... it's a starting point.

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.
