Lincoln Gem
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.

Very nice Terry - no flowers on mine this year, managed to rot it by too frequent applications of SB invigorator trying to kill mealy bugs and spider mite in my office overwinter. Fortunately a bunch of its offsets are growing along nicely and should flower next year, fingers crossed.

My wife's abbreviated name is Gem so I'd be in proper trouble if I killed it completely!!!

As the flower aged ... the yellow orange became paler and the pink became richer
