Re: Why do plant bodies split?
What a wonderful flower.
The plant looks really nice too.

Re: Some Lasiacantha species from different locations
I completely agree fatich.
I'm sure I used to have some in my unheated greenhouse.
I've just checked and I must have lost them sometime, I will try and replace them.
Thank you for reminding me about these little gems.

I agree that #2 is Notocactus buiningii (as I still think of it).
