I wasn't sure about the Cheiriposis mostly because Steven Hammer sent me a C. speciosa that was supposed to have red flowers, but it was the same plant as the one I already had with the purple flowers. So I think Steven just sent the wrong plant, opps

Great plants as usual. I showed that picture of your Alionosis to my plant and told it to get a move on!

The Cheiridopsis looks great! Mine has been very slow with new leaves this winter and of course no flowers.

The Gibbaeum looks great too. I have no flowers on that either :(

I think Titanopsis hugo-schlechteri flowers are under-rated. Maybe I'm biased, I even think T. primosii flowers on their spindly stalks are nice :)

I've never seen that Antimima before. How can that be the same genus as all those plants with pokey little pink dots and conehead stamens? On the subject of Ruschias, have you ever got R. uncinata to flower?

There's some great flowers on some of these winter growers. I'm barely scratching the surface with my few plants. First Gibbaeum bud appeared this week.
