Taken in Fuerteventura in January, Caralluma burchardii

Also in Gran Canaria, in January, an unknown Aloe flowering its best

Now! Lots of flowers, indeed!
Please, go on posting! I don't mind if it gets difficult to select the best!

This white Trichodiamdema intonsum is superb - but have seen this old and great photograph from Huntington Garden already... And Caralluma burchardii is almost extinct now ... such a superb plant! So long I haven't seen one .

A few to add

: Aloe ferox Sheffield Botanical Gardens, March 2015

: Dudleya_farinosa

A rather tatty plant, flowers not large but quite a few of them

: Echinocereus_viridiflorus_davisii

Some time ago there was a thread on the forum that explained how to tell a male hoverfly from a female, from the eyes. I can't find the thread, so not sure about this hoverfly.

: Mamm guelzowiana

: Mamm_laui

: Rebutia albiflora X heliosa

Lost track of which Rebutia this is:

An autumn flowering garden Sedum, this one's 'Coca Cola'

: Sedum 'Coca Cola'

"Lots of flowers" seems like a description of Attila Kapitany's garden in Melbourne. These were taken there:

: Crassula 'Morgan's Beauty'

I apologize for my late response, so sorry. But I'm happy that this time there are so many great photographs and plants to see and enjoy.
As I still feel 'new' among all bccs-experts, I'm not sure how to ponder photographic skills versus wow-effect and personal soft spots... like the great Caralluma I like so much, or the sheer orange colour explosion of Rebutia... and the envy I feel each and every time I see the squaremeters of flowers grown in botanical gardens ...
Finally I have chosen the in-focus stamina emerging from each of plenty Aloe ferox flowers as best photograph of march 2015. A joy for every bee!
Congratulations Mike T.!
