Thought it was about time I posted a few more pics. Mucked about with close ups when my epithelantha micromeris decided to flower. Amazing plant only 2cm wide!
Photo of my Mammillaria spinosissima un pico in bloom, an unusual Mamm indeed! Unfortunately this particular plant got knocked over accelerating in the car on the way home from purchasing it. It lost a lot of its spines, but the new recent growth above the flowering is looking great!
My favourite flower in my collection: Thelocactus bicolor v commodus! It produced 4 flowers last season and amazed me each time. I've had the plant 2 years now and I'm yet to find a better flower even with 500 different plants!
With apologies to the late Professor C. D. Darlington the following misquotation springs to
mind ‘cactus taxonomy is the pursuit of the impossible by the incompetent’ - Fearn & Pearcy, Rebutia (1981)
