Infuriatingly none of my "leopygmaeas" have had flowers at the same time. Until today- here are two brothers / sisters, from the same sowing, cuttings from Leo Busch. I've rarely been so excited about waiting for seed to develop :lol:

Lovely X 2
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.

Do you know if Leo Busch experimented further with this line of hybrids? He must have been thrilled to find these two!

Yes there was an F1- see the pdf I posted earlier- but I don't know of any further outcomes.

A wee update on these plants. The typical one that I've seen as "leopygmaea" is flowering today, and gets better every year. What a stunning plant.
