Flowers finally opened today...Iarae.
From 'that seller', 100% germ rate. Ended up throwing the spares.

Mine probably don't get enough light but interesting how two E. Heinrichiana can look so different:

Taken a little longer to flower than I was expecting but the Bank Holiday sun finally did the trick.

Hoping my little G. Mesopotamicum might put on a show. Just one 1 years old.

Last photo...

My Mammillaria picta sp viereckii has been going since December now and still throwing out new buds.
