The same goes with G. saglionis as far as flowers not opening up all the way, in my experience.

Back from the Huntington Sale and a couple new bloomers for me conveniently waited for me to return!
First, gotta show a pic of my
Notocactus tenuicylindrica (=
Notocactus minimus) I obtained blooming from the HBG sale - one of my favorites I got there this past weekend.

Notocactus herteri.

Then, my
Weingartis lanata that I missed the first bloom burst of earlier this spring decided to cooperate and send up some more buds so I can actually see them this time - yeah! Another first for me.

And, although not a succulent, just had to post a pic of my Palo Brea (
Parksinsonia praecox) blooms...all of the Palo Verdes & Palo Breas seem to be in bloom now - along with a bunch of Mesquites....it's turned the Valley of the Sun quite yellow!! Beautiful time of year.

yes my Foothills Palo Verde(Parkinsonia microphylla) is in full bloom.. it also means allergies, which I will live with because I love when things are in bloom here.
That first Noto is beautiful that you just picked up.
The second one looks almost like an Echinocereus flower
nice plants

That little notocactus is cool. I would love to get some seed from that if you get any.
If it is like most notcactus I have seen, it is self fertile.
Cool ramosisima flower.

I'll keep an eye out and be sure to collect some and send some to you if I get any!
