Super, Hob! I have an A. capricorne with buds, but they aren't going anywhere. Sure would like to see them open!

Hello Hob,
I sure do admire your beautiful flowering cacti, especially images two, three and four. Those are smashingly nice pictures of bicolored blossoms.
Are they all Rebutias? Well, if so, I might have to go into collecting those too, but where do I find the space? I would need to reduce my assortment of Echinocereus and Opuntia plants. :?

Well, Hob,
it helps if one can read. I do not know how I overlooked your headline above the images. :oops:
