Thank you Mike and Ralph.

As an aside - the very floriferous A.europea that I posted a couple of years ago has not repeated that performance, but both subsequent years has developed seed horns from the shrivelled flower remains from that flowering. But the seeds have never been viable despite looking fully developed.

First flower on one of my White-sloanea seedlings. Not the largest flower, and I couldn't really smell any odor. The plants is about 4 years old, and lives in a light box year round. I have seedling twice its size, but no flowers yet.
Apologies for the poor focus.

Lovely
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.
