Good work with these - they look very similar to the way they do in habitat…..except you can still see some of the body…..

Re: Eriosyce esmeraldana FK436
These look nothing like my "esmeraldana" plants, which are covered in fluff. Perhaps mine are wrongly labelled - or just from a different location. I've only had them for 18 months and they haven't flowered so far.

Re: Eriosyce esmeraldana FK436
The flower seems whiter this year? Same camera so perhaps weather conditions have influenced it in the same way that temperature will alter a white flowered Schlumbergera
- Just read Ralph's post re colour change due to flower age so perhaps that's a factor. The white flower only opened today so I will see if it changes before going over

Re: Eriosyce esmeraldana FK436
Rod, I think you’ll find that your plant is Copiapoa esmeraldana.

Re: Eriosyce esmeraldana FK436
I had one like Rod’s as well. Not sure where confusion came from - seed purchase - sowing - potting on. No doubt once it flowered. (It is hairy underneath the flower but not as much as Rod’s)
Apologies for the non-rotation, doing this on phone not PC.
