new cacti

Post by Murph »

Any ideas? the first one is some sort of rebutia, and not entirely sure about the second as it came with no tag

The pictures are a bit blurred, but the first one could be a rebutia, since it flowers from the lower part of the plant. Could it be R. flavistyla?

This is mine:

The next one is hard to tetermine from this photo

That second one has got to be a Parodia of some kind.

The second looks a little like P rutilans, but too blurry to tell. Mike

Thank you, Murph, for the pictures. Here, it's winter weather and the plants are asleep. It feels good to see your flowers. I'll have to wait for at least 4 months to get the same :cry:

Much better photos this time, and it must be R. flavistyla. Compare flowers with mine:

I see there are more buds, so it will be even nicer.
