My Trichocereus flowers this year
These are all this year's flowers. Mostly unnamed Tricho's, but Flying Saucer is in there.
Plus a couple of photos from last year.....
I really should get a decent photo backdrop, rather than my old kitchen wall paper!

Re: My Trichocereus flowers this year
Some beautiful flowers there
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.

Re: My Trichocereus flowers this year
Fantastic flowers Andrew. Any tips to get them flowering as my Trichos are proving reluctant this year.

Re: My Trichocereus flowers this year
Oh wow! I'd be interested in tips too. I don't have many Tricho hybrids compared to my generous bunch of Echinopsis hybrids. I find them much harder to get into flower, despite watering them well and fertilising well.

I've never seen one in the flesh but the flowers seem truly amazing!

Re: My Trichocereus flowers this year
They get the same treatment as my Echinopsis, but they do seem to flower less. I too had some that didn't flower again this year. I keep hoping that T. Atlantis will flower, its ~12 inches tall and its flower atrophied this year - I guess that's progress
