The first one is a Schick Hybrid Daydreamer, my first orange. The second I got from Tony. The new pics happened one day later, Schick Hybrid Cheetah and Seauce.Minime8484 wrote:Wow - simply stunning!
What is the name of the Echinopsis that was the first in your last post? It's a beauty!
Oh yes, I do enjoy my hybrids.

Re: Cactushobbyman Cacti
Thanks for all the nice replies. I go for colorful flowers and most do a very good job of it. One of these days both of my T. bicolors will bloom at the same time and maybe get some seeds.

Re: Cactushobbyman Cacti
I have not seen humming birds near the flowers. I don't see humming birds around my house during winter, and they flower in early March, so the humming birds may have not migrated back.JimHSoars wrote:cactushobbyman:

Way up here in "tundra"land, Dennis, when ANY flowers come out, the hummers arrive! So I'm guessing they're back
Once bitten by the cactus collecting/growing bug, there is no known cure!

Re: Cactushobbyman Cacti
I love this last one! If my monitor is reading the colors correctly, it looks like a very, very pale yellow with just a hint of pale rose on the petals. What is it?
