It's the most common Sulco colour, I'd say.

Re: Aylostera fiebrigii(?) vallegrandensis(?)

My vallegrandensis from Paul Doyle.
I have an older photo and the flowers are more orangy in that.

Re: Sulcorebutia patriciae

I have them both under tarabucoensis.
It probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

Re: Cactus seedlings in the greenhouse

If you take them out of the bags they are going to need constant, almost daily watering and/or spraying.
If you can't do that then leave them in the bags.
It's a bit more fool proof.

Re: A friend calls this the spikey cucumber

Virtually impossible to keep them mark-free in my experience, as are most Echinocereus.
That's not too bad at all.
And they always flower well....

Re: What's happened

Could be cold damage since winter and rot has now set in.
Last two might be saveable if you take a sharp knife above the rotting parts.

Re: Sulcorebutia and handwriting

I had a good look but couldn't find that field number on any of my seed lists.
Most canigueralii will give you a flower colour like that. The non applanata kind.
PHA260 and HS71 would be more popular.

But the petals on that are very rounded.
Almost like a Rebutia.

Re: Sulcorebutia and handwriting

I saw that photo on Facebook and made a note of it myself.

There's more experienced people on here than me with field numbers but this may help (or just confuse the issue more).

Re: I think I’ve finally got rid of my flat mites!

An X10 eye loupe and eye-loupe holder work well for me.
