I wish I had a camera.. Just about everything in Israeli flowers now in the spring

I need a camera

A friend of mine has a crested geomatrizans - and it doesn't look like this.

I'm with daiv on this one.

what exactly is variegated?

Look at this one here:

how do they form? is it just random?

enlighten me please

Definitely Echinopsis eyriesii for the last one.

My hands are full of glochids as well.

I once thought it would be funny to kick a Consolea... Had to pull out the spines from my foot after it. I was probably drunk or something

What camera did you use?
Any special settings on it?

I'd say it's a M. gracilis.
Escobaria doesn't look like that..

E. grusonii? no chance

how about a tephrocactus for the tall one?

I'd go for Opuntia as well.

I got a Consolea (closely related to Opuntias) which looks exactly like that when it's young.

So when are we all coming to visit you in Paraguay?

#2 is beautiful!

Parodia mammulosa for the last?

Having this in my garden, I was thinking. What is the biggest flower of them all?
