I've been installing a drought resistant garden as well as increasing my magic cacti armada. I don't have a problem, just a growing passion. I'll start with two pachanois, followed by two bridgesii cave paintings attached the following image(s):  CaPachbaby.jpg (497kb) downloaded 448 time(s). CaPach.jpg (489kb) downloaded 449 time(s).

These pictures are seed grown Astrophytum variegates mainly and some lophophora and ariocarpus. The last three are, in order, Rebutia miniscula flower, a TPM x SS02 crest grafted to selenicereus with lady bug, and a huge Lophophora alberto-vojtechii graft. hostilis hostilis attached the following image(s): P2070890.JPG (406kb) downloaded 318 time(s).

Nice ! What is the one on the down right corner if i may ask ? « I love the smell of boiling MHRB in the morning »

Yes I forgot myself, but I believe it is a Lithops species. Lithos, like stone or rock. Very unusual forms those ones. I'm glad I caught it flowering. Living to Give

That is a Pleiospilos species. Lithops are a bit different looking. Here are some baby lithops. hostilis attached the following image(s): P3151101.JPG (832kb) downloaded 250 time(s).3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF!!!!FFO TSALB ...1 ...2 ...3 My grafting guide

Flowering continues apace here in sunny Spain. One species that has given a good floral display is Encephalocarpus strobiliformis - small but beautifully coloured blooms. I started with two of these but now have dozens.  Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.
