My plants seem to be flowering later than others, but this Sulcorebutia markusii obliged today. I love the colour of the flowers, came from a good nurseryman, who has the best label printer in the business :wink:

Agreed Ralph, but I wouldn't buy the plant without the label, which is maybe slightly worrying :???:

Lovely flowers, Juster. You're not alone with late flowering plants. I have a Stenocactus coptonogonus which has 6 buds that have been threatening to open for weeks, but I think it's the generally cold weather that is holding them back.
