Spring, but cold -

although sometimes the sun shines. . .

Conophytum, now the growth will end soon. Now they are plump, green and full of life.
Soon they go in the summer sleep until bloom in autumn.

WOW!! All are so beautiful! Is the hanging plant in photo #89788 a hybrid of some sort? Looks to have some Hildewinteria in it?

Your cat looks really cute in that picture! Also, what's your favorite cactus? some type of forma inermis? Looks really nice, I can see why you like it!
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.

Thank You very much Tristan!

Yes, You are right. It is Hildewintera (Cleistocactus) Hybr. Humkes Röschen.
The plant in photo 89784 is the same. In 2014, it bloomed all the year, it has more than 616 flowers.
I had collected the withered flowers. . .
