Ya got some good growth on your Opuntia and your Mamms are looking really nice!

I knew Opuntia were keen growers, but that took me by surprise, I must admit!

And I agree with both of you, my Mamms are looking great at the moment

It's gonna feel so weird seeing them all bare again!

More pics of E. viridiflorus in flower:

Also, welcome the latest members to the family; a pair of Uebelmannia pectinifera

I've wanted one of these for months, so getting two is fantastic - I spy seedlings!

nice looking Uebelmannia, not a plant that i have tried yet. they are not the easiest of plants to keep

Oh wow - thanks for pointing that out to me! I knew they were supposed to be more difficult than others, but that article helps a lot!

I had a U. pectinifera for a while and then someone pointed out that they were difficult to grow and that was the end of it!

Somehow, that sounds about right!

Here's hoping mine don't meet the same fate
