cheers fellers, the "Stars and Stripes" is one of the original "Paramount Hybrids" I think - if my memory serves me correctly, they were fairly readily available down here 20-30 years ago, this is one I've had for pretty well that amount of time and minus many pups over the years which have been given away.

The pentlandii, is an old plant that was grown from field collected seeds many years ago by on old mate of mine (no quarantine nightmares back in those days)

Darryl, The plural for Echinopsis? it's gotta be Echinopsisses!

I have an obrepanda, it's just red ! I'm not complaining about it but this purple is just uncredible !

Hi Dominique you have a red one , don't think I've ever seen a red one, that should look really nice!

Thanks Antonio and Mark.
I'll probably never find out what the un-named hybrid is, but I guess that doesn't matter too much.

Cheers

CP, very nicely done on the first one, close up. So hard to get those pictures to not be all washed out in one color.
