Re: Strukto 2012
not sure that is right Arjen,sulcorebutia purpurea
purpurea i think in this case should refer to purple flowers.

Re: Strukto 2012
that was the name on the label it came with, of course you're right! s. purpurea is also said to resemble neowerdermannia vorwerkii which this plant doesn't really do neither, guess I'll have to put it up for ID....

I like them all, but that W. lanata is especially nice.

It all looks great!
Congrats for your milestone! Indeed that is a really satisfactory experience.

Re: Strukto 2012
Wow, surprising to see a sulcorebutia tarabucoensis with a yellow flower since mine are red, googled it and it looks like they come in yellow and red.
Re: Strukto 2012
thank you all for the kind comments!
promethean spark, yes they do, they also come in both:

Re: Strukto 2012
Wait a minute...is that the erinaceum seed I sent? That flower looks very familiar. That is awesome!
You have really put together (and care for) quite a collection Arjen, great work.

Re: Strukto 2012
Wow - that is a spectacular flower display!!
Re: Strukto 2012
Bryan, yes it is and thank you for the compliment! actually the first ever cactus I have ever grown from seed is now also the first to flower!
when I looked before the weekend it had two more buds opening, I hope they will still be open this afternoon
is it me or is the flower in your avatar the same erinaceum?
Minime, thanks!
