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.

Seems to be good weather for Stomatiums. Always a nice smell in the evenings.

That's a cracking flower. I'm now repeatedly telling myself I do not need to grow it...

Having just spent hours (or it seems like days) planting mesemb seeds (the first time I have performed this feat of masochism), with many packs (or it seems that way) still to go, I vowed never again. Then you guys show me another genus/species to go on my wants list.
Expletive deletive .... what a gorgeous plant.
