Yellow and summer instantly translate into Notocactus in my head. I call this P. selowii but I can't be sure, as this is a plant bought on a supermarket.

Me too. Here is a photo of my Notocactus (Parodia) leninghausii taken last August.

Last summer produced a yellow flower on a couple of 'Small Opuntiads' worthy of seeing again:

Maihueniopsis minuta Rauh 65245

Austrocylindropuntia floccosa HS30a

i suddenly remembered my Parodia, so here it is. if anyone can supply the complete name I would be very grateful.

Lovely pictures, you all!
It could be helpful identifying the Parodia /Notocactus with a sideways view, Liz.
Here is another one (out of competition) with a rather greenish tone of yellow

Hi Jens, thanks for the suggestion, here is a side picture.
