The first Huernias now in flower!
First is Huernia insigniflora, acquired last year, with nice life-buoy flower:

Next is what I believe might be Huernia loesneriana, (labelled as H. hislopii but definitely not that) - any opinions?

Lovely
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.
