You been photographing my collection?

Seriously it will be great to see the flowers.
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.

Well Echinocereus puchellus ssp. sharpii have gone from ugly duck to white swan.
But E. weinbergii is still a little shy.

Hmm, well, despite the filename, it is E. dasyacanthus. It is possible to grow them cleaner than that, but this one isn't playing ball.
