Hi David and Mike,
Thank you for continuing to share your marvellous photos from last year's trip. That last spegazzinii is truly spectacular!
Happy New Year to you both, and I'll see you next year at some of Bromley's meetings.
Best regards,

Just before the stop we passed a local farmer in a very green looking field ...it was oddly dissapointing to me to see that the round bales were in use here.

Hi Mike ,
a wonderful corner in Argentina there!
next to last Picture is Acanthocalycium thionanthum i think.
The Lobivia haematantha var. elongata at Cachi are different.
Cheers
Cyrill
