A recent purchase for me… a very strangely growing turbinicarpus klinkerianus trying to push its way out of a 2 3/4 inch BEF pot.

I thought I was done and then somehow convinced myself I needed more. I put in another order with adblps last night…

Gave everything some water over the weekend during a pocket of warm late afternoon sunshine... and then it dropped to 4 °C overnight last night

Turbinicarpus panarottoi (andersonii?) wins first prize for me this year. Two valdezianus plants following close behind though.
