The only thing I can find to photograph in the greenhouse today

All the Rebutia have finished ... the solitary x Chamaelobivia is the only thing in 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.

Nice Chamaelobivia, they always manage quote a show. This E. texensis has flowered for the first time for me. Convinced it was dead for a few months last year...

Lovely flower!

Same here. I have one much bigger than that, but never any hint of a flower.
