Maybe is a good idea to declare this June a month of Gymnos. And see what progress our plants and collections did since the last time that was 4 years ago.


Stiff spines on the way of buttons...


Not a problem. Gymnocalycium pflanzii makes it second bloom for the season. They know how.

Very impressive young G pflanzii

...that is how it flowers? Nice.
7George, you've got a real lovely cactus.

How convenient that one of these in tiny-weeny grows on my balcony (until it gets too cold at least).

Some more shots of that plant as other photos of Gymnos from last summer not shown here or somewhere else.





And thise ones are from this season already...

It is still June, the season of Gymnos.

G. eurypleurum.

My G. denudatum

The pic is a little blotchy because of my shade cloth, but my G. horstii's first two flowers of the season! It had it's first flower last year, and this year it's got 5 buds total going. This was one of the first cacti I got, and it's really rewarding to see it blooming at last.

Real nice plant, lovely flowers.

Very pretty and they are all real good sized cacti.

What a joy: This year, after 16 years of waiting, my G. saglionis finally flowered end of May / beginning of June. Just forgot to post the pictures. It is one of the plants of my "loads of space"-experiment, and it is hard working at using its space up.

Besides, what surprised me most in all those great pictures (thank you all!), is the red-flowering Gymno of 7george.
Somehow, I do not associate red with Gymnos. I know white & pink, but just know about yellow or red.
