I was there yesterday. Thanks once again for letting me visit (tu) :grin:

We could have spent all day photographing all the flowers and still not got them all.

Wonderful to see so many in flower all at once.

Seriously thou when did you start watering the Pterocactus to get them to flower so early?
We had some nice weather in early March, so I couldn't resist watering my plants! :grin:

And the light is good here - when it's not raining or cloudy...

I hope I'll be OK - I didn't get any last year. There's no nasty leylandii trees nearby harbouring them. And I've got some stuff to spray if I do see any...

Some amazing plants. I love the unusual Rebutia supthutiana.
