That's a pretty spectacular flower. Is it as big as it looks?

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Excellent picture of a lovely plant. Just back from hols, and have missed a number of my Corys in flower, so thanks for posting.

Hope you enjoyed your trip Chris! Some of my other Corys are coming into flower but most seem to struggle to push their flowers through the dense thick spines which results in half opened or flattened flowers which aren't particularly photogenic.
