Greenhouse pictures again
These are a few more pictures of the Hildewinteras in flower:-
I have included a picture of my Brachystelma collection in case you thought I only grew Hildewinteras. The Brachystelmas smell awful at present but the flowers are delightful.Sylvia in Somerset growing cacti and succulents since 1977

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Re: Greenhouse pictures again
Thank you Mike. Have grown Brachystelmas for years in fact one year one of them had a seed pod and I grew a few from seed. Have not been able to get any new ones for several years.

Re: Greenhouse pictures again
Those Hildewinteras are simply superb, Sylvia. And well done with the Brachystelmas too, certainly not the easiest of plants to keep in the long term. I once grew B. barberae, which as you say has amazing flowers, but stank the greenhouse out with a disgusting smell which could perhaps be likened to a mix of chocolate and dog droppings.
I was lucky to get a few Riocreuxia seed this year, which are close to Brachystelma, so I am hoping good things will come of that.
