Thanks, Julie. BTW, I do like E. obesa very much -- all small growing Euphorbs that matter.

Re: Miniature Discocactus
Hello James,
Im glad someone grows Discos,i have about 30 Discos.About 4 weeks ago i got some D.Hosrtii from a nursury in Brazil.I was on a trip around Brazil, Argentina and Uraguary.Seen some good plants,Fraileas were growing everywere we went.And they were in flower.The thing i like about Discos is they are night flowering.
Ive been on your website a couple of times,has i like to grow all things Brazillian.A great site.

Thank you for the great information and kind comments, Richard. I envy your Brazilian trip. I was supposed to go on a trip through north eastern Brazil a few years ago with Marlon Machado and Paul Klaasen -- but I suffered a series of kidney stone attacks and had to cancel -- maybe I will go shortly.
