Our winter has so far been a bit chillier than usual this year but my Aloinopsis schooneesii is as happy as can be! This was taken just before Christmas.

Mammillaria hahniana, being outside hasn't stopped it from flowering.

Not so much ice and snow here. But more the visual retreat from the winter cold and lack of moisture by pulling itself into the ground (half loam half rough sand) for hiding and leaving an indication of how big the plant was when it was watered for the last time last autumn.

I thought the silhouette of my blooming Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp schmiedickeanus against the bleakness of a cold, snowy yard made an interesting contrast.
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!

Definitely wrinkly, but not dehydrated. I just noticed today that this Dioscorea is started to grow.
