Gorgeous picture
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.

Cracking plant Mike.
Do you have any idea how old it is likely to be?

I bought it at the Bandstead MSG event a couple of years ago as far as I can recall. Maybe 5 years old. It seems to grow a lot faster than the others I have.

Stunning! I'm delighted if I get any flowers at all on Cheiridopsis plants.

Perhaps being a shade lover helps it coping with the UK climes...
