Here's a new addition, a loph williamsii with some flowers, it's not a true crest but very interesting to look at.
Apparently you end up with a continuing row of heads .

Into all sorts of exotic plants but with only having a conservatory I prefer to buy small young plants and miniature cacti.

My wife isn't fond of cacti (to say the least :) ) but that e. mochica might change her mind...

I find most people that say they don't like cacti AnTTun love the flowers when they see them and frequently say "I didn't think cacti flowered".
