Thanks for sharing
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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

They really are floriferous, aren't they?

I didn't appreciate there was a white flowered sport. Very nice 👍

I think that cross is a Rebutia sunrise.

'Sunrise' has pink and orange tones in it. I also have a plant like the one on the left, and its quite a pure creamy-white colour, These two are quite distinct in my collection.

Picked up this grafted heliosa last year. This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago and there are at least as many buds forming again.

The white one cam from JP several years back. It seems to me to be more floriferous than the standard ones.
