I'm not a very good photographer but thought I'd post this.

Sulcorebutia albissima purchased as a single head in 2000. Now in a 6" bowl and looking for more space! Flowers not quite open but the colour's certainly vibrant

Couple of Echinocereus flowers.
Liked the description by Borg of the pectinatus flower - "lively pink"

Stunning photos everyone and, oh Sylvia what lovely plants - Echinopsis I assume? Blue - now how would you get a blue flower for them?

[Sylvia]

Thank you Sue, yes they are all Echinopsis mostly the Schick hybrids.

I found it really difficult to choose only one photo so here are three that I love.

First up is my Frailea cataphracta, tough as old boots!

Second a recently deceased Mammillaria deherdtiana ssp. deherdtiana. I'm happy to have flowered this in the few years that I owned it.

Lastly a beautiful Sulcorebutia vanbaelii with it's red and yellow flowers.

Some great pinks and purples, but I've gone for the whites and yellows of two of my many favourite mammillarias:

Mammillaria louisae

Mammillaria solisioides
