Nice group of Arios, however I thought A. trigonus have yellow flowers.

Thank you!!

@Antonio, I know that the trigonus flowers should be different, these are grown from seeds, bought by Koehres...

Best regards

Very nice display Alex!!! My Arios are pushing fruit out now, and ants are getting busy!! Your A retusus/trigonus with the pink flower could be A confusus, which can have white, pink or fuschia flower

Saludos

Edit: I just noticed that you also have some confusus in there, so disregard! :oops:

An impressive show! Arios have to be one of the most unimpressive looking cacti but ones with some of the most spectacular flowers.
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
