Proving the young generation can put on a show to rival the old-timers. And it's not too late for the old-timers to start seedraising.

Re: Youthful glory
Very nice display! Is it heliosa var. cajasensis with the red flowers?
Re: Youthful glory
There is Rebutia solisiodes with the large red flowers, and Rebutia theresae with the smaller on the left. The lilac-flowered plants I raised under the name azurduyensis but neither the flower colour nor body form match that name. Mistakes happen, mea culpa I expect.

A veritable cornucopia of colour.

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.

Re: Youthful glory
solisioides and theresae are both forms of heliosa as well. I thought solisioides had orange flowers like heliosa, but I guess there could be red flowered collections.ragamala wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 12:31 pm There is Rebutia solisiodes with the large red flowers, and Rebutia theresae with the smaller on the left.

The solisiodes came under provenance RH1024, FWIW. Seed source Piltz.KarlR wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 2:03 pmsolisioides and theresae are both forms of heliosa as well.

Re: Youthful glory
Yep, for those of us lacking in patience, Aylosteras are an excellent choice for raising from seed. I had several of my last year's seedlings flowering this year - that's about 15 months from seed!
