A fantastic show Robert. I especially like shot of the New Dawn hybrid, the colours in that flower are superb

Hi,

I have always wondered why people can be crazy about cacti. I guess I´m taught again, why! :grin: Marvellous flowers! I wish they could last all year! :wink:

Thanks for brighten up my grey day.

Beautiful flowers, many thanks for sharing! :)

It seems to me that Echinopsis eyriesii looks much more like E. oxygona (IMHO).
