Mine in flower for the first time too...

I’ve not seen videos for the horizontal grafts. I did one recently and rather winged it. I just made sure the scion had A little vascular tissue and that this crossed over the vascular layer on the root stock. I’m not sure this is totally necessary, more skilled grafters will tell. In my case it was...

I’d be tempted to cut it afresh. That doesn’t look healthy. I might then take slices from that bottom 2” and graft, if you have some available rootstock. Several trichocerei I’ve bought off the continent recently have been rib grafts. You tend to get one offset from each areole. On a related matter,...

Many of my Schicks are about to burst. In the picture there are three plants labelled as Lochinvar, third from left front row, one row back just to the left from that and then the one behind that just to the right. The middle one is going to have a yellow flower, the other two are correct. Interesti...

My slightly Heath Robinson solution in a new greenhouse. The house wall is at the north end of the greenhouse and I was getting scorch on Agaves, so rigged this up. The netting is building debris net, which I use for keeping birds off my cherries and for covering reseeded cricket pitches to reduce w...

and a slightly further out picture to appreciate the flower better.

The weather is not great atthe moment, but this tiny gem keeps trying...

That's a 6cm pot - it really does live up to the name "minuta" in my collection.

12cm Soparco octagonal pots are available from Woodside cacti, at least I hope they are as I ordered 200 from there today. They are not the cheapest pots, but very good quality.
The Razzle Dazzle hybrids are great. I’ve had some open for 4 days recently.

About 2 to 3” across

I took a drive to Southfield yesterday. Hiding amongst an area of Chamaelobivia Rainbow hybrids was this little beauty. The plant Itself is nothing to write home about, but the flower colours have the shimmer and depth of some of the Schick Echinopsis hybrids such as Raoul Wallenberg or Seismic Shim...
