A hot day in SA

Hot days have been continued. It is too long but some cacti seem no problem at all for them.
I bought red flower asterias seeds last year and grafted seedlings. They have been in flower with various colors.
Which color do you like?

I don't believe I've ever seen Astro flowers with that depth of colour before. Those rich pink flowers are incredible.

realy nice flowers i agree those pink ones are brilliant!!!

Wow how very unique. no 1 , 2 ,4 ,6 Fav prob no2. Very well done indeed. Your always full of new awesome surprises. keep em commin

Hanazono (Flower garden): Many areoles but one flower on each areole
Hanaizumi (flower springs): Multiple flowers from one areole, normally 3 flowers
My super, right lower parts, 2 flowers from on areole

Doughnut-ibo
This plant is not mine but areole (ibo) shape is like doughnut shape.

simply amazing! i have never see this cultivar, can you tel me were i can find some seeds of this cultivar? is realy beautiful and i have no news of this cv in italy! and i'm part of the italian astromaniac comunity on web(i means the varius forum and web board votated or not to astrophytum)

I could see Hanaizumi in 2008/2009 seed list of Arizona Cactus Garden in Australia but could not see in 2009/2010 list.
He normally gets seeds from Europe and so you can buy in Europe, I think.

Doughnut ibo kabut has not been in market and you can not buy seeds.
