At last! First flowers ....

Post by Tony R »

The hottest day of the year finally produced some flowers, a few weeks behind Mike P's. A couple of quick snaps with an iPhone before they closed up:

Lovely flowers.
At least you now have something by which the summer will be memorable
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.
