Hob,

Thanks. I know what you mean. Here's a flavistyla:

A fulviseta
Image

R miniscula
Image

R albopectinata coming on

I take a perverse pleasure in trying to get rebutia flowers in isolation with the camera.

The un pico is a strange one -- it has a swath of single spines and then comes out with a couple. I should just delete un pico.

Wow! You sure Monterey doesn't require you to have a permit for bright colors like that?
