Super
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.

Re: Some Gymnocalyciums
I like the whirly one! I wonder if it will do it again next year...

Re: Some Gymnocalyciums
Thanks for the comments and added photos, some lovely flowers there. I’ve had the whirligig plant for ages, more than 40 years I think, restarted from offsets occasionally, but I don’t recall it looking like that before.

Re: Some Gymnocalyciums
Lovely Gymnos! They are all very nice, but I particularly like your curly-whirly Gymno, Jean! I've never seen flowers quite like it... Quite taken with Mike's G. ferrarii too... I have some seedlings, but they seem slow.
To continue with the white theme, may I add G. gibbosum which flowered for me recently.

Re: Some Gymnocalyciums
I was just thinking how many pieces your Crassula Mesembryanthemopsis could be cut into! Rather nice and hiding in the background.
