Late summer flowers
Beautiful weather where I am in the South East, with temps around 23°c today, and hopefully staying warm for the rest of the week. I’ve been doing some late watering (fingers crossed!) and there are still quite a few plants in flower, these stood out in particular.

Re: Late summer flowers
I've got 5 or 6 turbinicarpus in flower at the moment, including some that haven't flowered yet this year. Seems very late in the year...
I also popped out to the greenhouse yesterday evening to find my pygmaeocereus bieblii in flower again! The smell is incredible, and goes some way to masking the overpowering smell one of my euphorbias has been pumping out recently.

Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

Re: Late summer flowers
Lots of Turb flowers again today!
Lophophoroides flowering for the first time for me. A lot more impressive than some of the other smaller flowers!
