Tephrocactus weberi part 2

Post by RAYWOODBRIDGE »

On the 27th of June I posted pictures of the brown spine form of the species ref RBT 05 which had bright yellow/gold flowers.
Today the white spine form T weberi P164 is in flower, and these are a strong orange colour with red and yellow highlights and longer spines. ( I thought these were going to be 3 new segments ) :oops:

That's really beautiful, but those spines look fierce!

That's an amazing plant Ray - almost looks artificial or too good to be real!

The flower colour is gorgeous
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.
