Nicely grown cactus lookalikes. It's too bad these aren't more widely grown. They are unique is so many ways.
Just a nomenclature correction; the 1st should be
Trichodiadema calvatum
The 2nd looks somewhat like
Trichodiadema bulbosum

Thanks Tom. I like them but not many do. I have checked my records; the calvatum was purchased in 2003 from Whitestone gardens UK. The owner had bought it back having sold it years earlier. It was a bit neglected and needed sorting out. It must have been about 10 years old when I bought it so its over 30 years old. Someone in the UK who is a national judge thinks the second one is T. densum, Roy Mottram who owned Whitestone was not so sure. That ones also about 30 years+ old. Both flower well.
