Such beautiful plants, unusual selection, and admirable photography. I want to gain some of your skills.

Thanks you guys , my main skill is not to push the plants growth too much - and rather wait another year for flowers .
The rest is done by the environment here which is sunny (at least in during summer ) and quite windy.

It was a sunny sunday yesterday....

Nice show! I like the first one's spines!

Yes the redddish tone in the spine color is very unique even in young plants.

wow! those flowers look mindblowing, very impressive!

Today tthere was another Eriosyce recondita ssp. iquiquensis in flower And one that came without name that looks similar

lovely!

Amazing plants and photos, Jens!!

Are the Ptero seedlings from your own seed?

love that Austrocactus, just spectacular. The Eriosyce are amazing also, such flower colors.

Thanks for the coments guys!
Darryl: yes I found the seeds still on the plants when I got them from a friend last year.
PeterB: I like the flowers with translucency or more then one color to them very much too.

But there are pretty North American Cacti too..as I realized again today

indeed there are, especially in echinocereus
very pretty!!

You sure got your moneys worth with that plant!

Absolutely fabulous!! Incredible plants and photos!
Especially love the Austrocactus - would love to try one of those some day.

Thanks guys, ( btw the Ec pullchellus ssp. weinbergii is missing an n )

I have this Austrocactus plant for one year now and am quite happy growing it on.
I sowed some A. bertinii seed this winter - but none sprouted so far.

Here are two more pictures from the greeenhouse today
