Oh wow! Maybe it's a sign to reread some of his books

I tried once, gave up!

Thanks! Yes the first two are from a well known seller in the UK, but the leopygmaea came from a European seller a few years ago.

Three pretty cultivars in flower:

Lobivia ‘Dostoevsky’ Lobivia ‘Angels lace’ Mediolobivia ‘Leopygmaea’

My old faithful M. theresae with a good show of flowers this week. Originally a small seedling from Pete’n’Ken back in the 80s, it’s over 40 years old now, and in a 7” pan.

Dunno, but I’ve had similar on Gymnos. Aborted bud/offset?

Fantastic, well done!

Reliable flowered! It should be Mammillaria microhelia (little sun).

Great stuff!

I have had quite a few problems accessing the forum this week, and being logged out numerous times, which I’m finding rather tedious. I don’t think I’m alone either, so do post if you’ve had problems too. Rather compounded by having to have two different passwords for the website and forum, my iPad ...

Shame. It happens to all of us!
