Awesome plants, tudedude! Especially the Strombocatus is stunning. Your last shown Turbinicarpus should be a Turbinicarpus polaskii but I'm not sure. Two pics to compare. 281_Turbinicarpus_macrochele_ssp._polaskii.JPG 491_TCG_15001_Rayones_NL.JPG The flowers of Turbinicarpus swobodae are more yellow...

Thanks adetheproducer and Arjen! Strombocactus are really beautiful plants but it takes a looooong time till they show their first flowers. So happy growing, adetheproducer. Arjen, there a really masses of Echinopsis hybrids and they hybridize easy, so you can't never know whether it's a hybrid or n...

It's a smart solution with the fan. Ventilation is really important especially during the summer. I've almost the same but my fan is inside of the greenhouse and is switched by a thermostat. It starts with running at about 77F (25°C). 171_Greenhouse.JPG The window behind the fan opens automatically ...

Really nice, Majcka!
That roseoluteus is sweet. My one hasn't flowered for many years. Something I'm doing wrong with the whole Notocactus.

Thanks Arjen and adetheproducer! I love the strobocactus great flowers, how old is it? Unfortunately I don't know it exactly but with guarantee it's more than 15 years old. It is really really slow growing and till the first flowers appear it takes many years. Especially on own roots. Some more pics...

These plants are in the unheated cold frame the whole year. At this treatment they doing very well. 110_Echinocereus_oklahomensis_HK1844.JPG 111_Echinocereus_oklahomensis_HK1844.JPG 112_Echinocereus_reichenbachii_HK1228.JPG 113_Echinocereus_reichenbachii_HK1228.JPG 114_Echinocereus_reichenbachii_ssp...

That "pailanus" is simply awesome! TFS Harald!

Really beautiful flowers, Arjen!
It seems that your greenhouse pays it out.

Some pictures a couple days ago. 101_Echinocereus_coccineus_ssp._rosei_BW63.JPG 102_Echinocereus_coccineus_ssp._rosei_BW63.JPG 103_Echinocereus_oklahomensis_HK1844.JPG 104_Echinocereus_reichenbachii_ssp._baileyi_DJF1308.JPG 105_Escobaria_missouriensis_Finney County_KS.JPG 105_Escobaria_missouriensis...

On your plant #1 is definitively a bud on #2 it looks like new growth.
Usually the buds appear near the apex but not on the apex. But you'll never know what happens.
It will be interesting to see what happens. Be excited for their flowers.

Thanks folks! Bruno, I've bought it as dasyacantha but everything is possible. 79_Mammillaria_rioverdensis_Rep1123.JPG 80_Mammillaria_rioverdensis_Rep1123.JPG 81_Mammillaria_saetigera.JPG 82_Mammillaria_saetigera.JPG 83_Rebutia_kariusiana.JPG 84_Rebutia_kariusiana.JPG 85_Toumeya_papyracantha.JPG 86_...

Beautiful collection, Bruno!

Nice one!
I like that Grusonia.
