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.

Liked the buds on this one - Garden centre find so I expect it's a hybrid.

Seed pods can be good too - some are about as close to blue as you can get in a cactus...
