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.

Lovely to see some cacti still in flower! I have M. schumannii in bud at the moment, but I fear it's too late this year for those to develop. I have been a little neglectful lately with my plants, but this one caught my eye this week: Mammillaria blossfeldiana, still a young plant.

Splendid, if they only did not have those pesky hooked spines!
