ooooooooooooooooooooooo .... lovely x2
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.

I can't resist showing you this. The flowers are an amazing colour (even more so than in the photo - orange and red).
