Certainly dazzling
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.

Mine has Dazzled again this morning.
I find the whole thing about Echinopsis hybrids fascinating and sometimes infuriating. Is the plant diurnal? Or is it nocturnal? Have I missed it because it flowered through the night and it's now closing therefore not worth wandering back to the house for a camera or cellphone? Or do I do a few jobs while I am waiting here for it to open, like a senior citizen waiting to collect a pension at the post office at 08h50 on a Monday morning. Is the plant a viable proposition for further hybridisation? Or is it seed sterile? Or might it have viable pollen? When is the optimum time to collect pollen from this plant? Have a got a suitable donor pollen in the 'fridge?
But ..... don't I just love 'em?
