Nice! Very similar to the grahamii flowers, but with a softer transition from white to pink.

Looks nice! I like how the flower is on a small stem!

Beautiful! I forget now if sheldonii is "accepted" anymore or thought to be just a synonym with grahamii.

Beautiful! I just love the way you get the two colours blending so delicately.

Anderson maintained it as a species, but the NCL placed it as a ssp to grahamii

Thanks all. I love this cactus, one of my rarest and has only ever flowered this once.
