Lovely plant.
And .... lovely design in your photo
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Nice plant. I will be sowing some from the exact same locality (General Cepada, Coahuila, Mexico) as yours. I hope mine will turn out to be as nice as yours.

It is a nice plant with a subtle reddish flower that is quietly beautiful. Plus it looks good for the rest of the year.

This is one of my favourite Escobaria, very dense spines and red flowers suit well with these spines.

One of my favourites too. Looks good with or without flowers, and many Escobarias look a bit ratty with or without flowers.

If anything it is more 'plummy' in real life.
