Re: May 2013 - Little Gems
Here is another little gem the sunshine has bought out for me today : Escobaria hesteri (dark form) originally from the Piltz nursery in Germany. It is in a 2.5" pot and is unlikely to need anything bigger anytime soon!

Re: May 2013 - Little Gems
And another 'Little Gem' from the stapeliad world. This is Orbea schweinfurthi with tiny flowers (< 1cm across) but like little jewels when seen close up. Sadly this one also left for the Great Compost Heap in the Sky at the end of last year.

Re: May 2013 - Little Gems
Hi,
Thank you to everybody who entered the competition. There were some great photographs. Jim's Echinocereus davisii was lovely, and certainly deserves a special mention.
However my favourite was Chris L Rebutia fabrisii - a beautiful little gem - so I am going to make this one the winner.
Best Wishes,
