spring cacti flowers

nope.. i dunno why its happening. its only been these two plants. they appear fine. In any case i'm not complaining.

Hey I wouldn't be either.......lol

Lobivia sp.

^^ Very nice


Astrophytum Coahuilense




Notocactus sp

What are those 3 cacti prier? I am particularly interested in that amazing looking yellow flowered one. pic#1 is very nice too.

Nice ones HN. Are you sure that's coahuilense? Looks pretty different to mine.

Trig I got this one about 2 years ago and it was labelled Coah. I hope it sets a fruit and I will know for sure. The flower does look like a Myrio, the throat is kinda pinkish which is unlike both of them

If the fruit is pink it's a Coah if its green/yellow its a Myrio

That's a good ID point of reference. I will have to remember that. the main reason I was thinking it was more likely to be myrio was the fact that coahuilense tends to have a much 'rougher' appearance to the similiar myrio. I am by no means an expert though as I only have one lone coa in my collection and it looks pretty 'rough' or 'course' compared to the my myrios.

Be keen to know if your one is a coa though. Do you think it might be a hybrid? Having a red throat and all? Looks nice all the same.

Has that palnt got 4 or 5 ribs mate?

It's a Quad and the throat is a really light pink colour.... It could very well be a Hybrid.

Hmmmm that's odd.

Awsome Whats the plant in the 1st pic Prier seems Gymno'ish with that bud.

Well lets get this arguement over and done with, ill take it off HN's hands and tell ya what it is.................. no?

That first one of prier's look way to long and skinny to be a Gymno though? Unless it's grafted. It has me baffled.

Haha mate can't see that happening but good luck with that haha

The first one of prier's is an Arrojadoa

^ you beat me to it Betty.

Thanks Betty. Are the upright or more sprawling? Might have to try and get one.

Rebutia heliosa hybrid.

Trig they grow upright a what I would call a tallish skinny thing but the flowers are something else eh!!!!

Nice Rebutia hyrid Plantsoma

they are not very good pics but the follwing are flowering at my place at the moment. can give names if you like.

the dogs name is Kiah

Yeah Betty, truly amazing flowers!!! I think I might have a couple actually, though they haven't flowered so I will have to wait and see.

Nice flowers WT and that's the coolest cactophile dog i've ever seen, you have trained it well

Nice one's WT. Hey I need echinopsis pollen check ya PM's.

today's:
Gymnocalycium bruchii (large headed few offsetting form/ big headed form)


^look closely at the inner petals...remarkable... it was a neat surprise. weird things keep happening with my flowers.

Toumeya papyracantha going ballistic:



one for CP.. Mammillaria mystax. very floriferous indeed:



saved the best for last. Epithelantha micromeris

breathtaking eh?

got this one yesterday and its flowering for me today:

Very nice lewis. Keep collecting them astros Love em

Awesome flowers lewis. I find it amusing (but cool) that you get all these monstrose flowers. What are you feeding those suckers? Is that a 'Hakuun' in the last pic? Perhaps a semi-nudum? Looking good mate. Also those Epithelantha micromeris certainly took my breath away such a 'showy' flower haha

Keep em' coming people. Encore! I should have a few more to add shortly. Gymno anyone?
