Re: Gymnocalyciums
A very nice display, Juster. Gymnos do love the heat.

lovely - thanks for sharing
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.

Re: Gymnocalyciums
Me too, the buds can take on the look of some alien species from a 1950's B movie.
The flowers are rather nice as well, though I have to say most of mine are not looking their best this year, certainly non as covered in flowers as those in Jean's pictures.
Regards Keith.

Re: Gymnocalyciums
I rather love the more muted colour Palette of the Gymnos following the exuberance of the Rebutias and Sulcos... Lovely plants Jean!

Re: Gymnocalyciums
Thanks Keith and Christian, I agree that the subtle variations in colour are quite fascinating.
