That Rebutia is really an eyecatcher. Very beautiful, John.

The two favorites you posted are the Parodia ottonis, because of its flower and the Rebutia einsteinii, because I admire the spiral arrangement of its ribs. Your other plants also are beautiful.

After a week of fog, overcast, and rain, we finally got some sun.

Rebutia narvaecensis is usually a great bloomer. It just started:
