Oh wow (tu) third one in is unusual and lovely, lots flowering you must be pleased. This year is looking like its going to be a really good year for flowers , the only problem I have is keeping up with all the watering even my ariocarpus seem very thirsty for May.

I'm thinking of giving them indiviual saucers anyone grow plants with their own saucers I think I saw Dianes agaves like this
Tina

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

Nice idea, Tina, but I would not be able to afford the 2,500+ saucers. I do keep some 'like-minded' plants in large gravel trays though so I can give them a collective drink when necessary. Else, the spray nozzle on the hosepipe is most useful.

That's Lobivia maximilliana ssp. westii, or var. westii, or Echinopsis if you prefer ;) KK437.

WOW!
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.

They are beautiful Paul D. I'm more of a succulent keeper myself.

Clearly I don't have enough cacti :D
