I was surprised to see this flower on Tavaresia barklyi - my nice clump decided to dry up last year, and I managed to re-root a few stems, and this one has flowered:

Most certainly an interesting plant ... both body and flower.
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.
