I don't know if they fluoresce, but sun or shade they have an intensity to the colour. Might be interesting to see in the UV.

AG11 was on the society seedlist a few years back. This is SB236, ironically listed as var rosei.

If I lived closer to SK ... I'd bring my kit to check it.
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.
