Re: A reason to grow Sulcorebutias
That is a cracker Ian - the pot bulge suggests a good taproot too. It was a plant very like Peter's 'bicolor' that got me into cacti in the first place when I saw one in flower on a display by (probably) Croston cacti years ago.
Mine are just getting started. Here is heliosoides today:

Re: A reason to grow Sulcorebutias
I think I need to get some of these in more different colours, there's such a variety.

Re: A reason to grow Sulcorebutias
Interestingly, when in Bolivia, I saw one species (I forget which) covering an area the size of a decent garden, with say several hundred plants in it. About 95% were one colour (purple? - cant remember which way round it was), 5% were another colour (yellow?) and literally 2 or 3 plants out of the whole had bicoloured flowers with a bit of both colours in them. Unsurprisingly, ones like the latter seem to have been selectively brought back - you see far more fancy coloured Sulcos in cultivation than in nature.

Re: A reason to grow Sulcorebutias
These plants look great in flower but no doubt stay looking interesting all year around.
One final plus mark for S.langeri- I find the flowers seem to stay open long after the sun has gone in.
So you don't miss them even if you are away during the day...
