It seems like everybody has a perezdelarosa and mine just started blooming recently. I don’t know how many times I’ve caught that on my sweatshirt and had to repot it. I finally moved it to a safer location. Also a Rebutia fabrisii aureiflora sending out the first of many, hopefully.

Resizing it reduces the quality

From today: Matucana aureiflora.

A b**** menace...?

Sorry. I am NOT groovy. Had an operation and feel like breaking in two. SO: No new pictures. Sorry.
Your's are lovely. I am away for over a month now from my plants! I do miss them. Enjoy your's in my place, too.

Nice plant George, it's too early for mine to flower yet.

An interesting section of the Matucana's with rotate rather than the usual zygomorphic flowers. There have been a couple of new ones published in this rotate flowered group in recent years:-

Matucana roseiflora, my small one in flower last year.

The other one to look out for is Matucana rebutiiflora, so called because the flower looks more like a Rebutia than a Matucana.

This is Albuca namaquensis. It just started blooming last week.

The ever so impressive Epithelantha micromeris. Almost didn't see it was blooming.

Thank you!
I started collect its last November and most of my current cacti are from shops. But I will buy some cacti from collectors.
