Re: Majcka 2012
Nice flowers! I like that Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. friedrichii and that Lobivia glauca var. paucicostata!
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.
Re: Majcka 2012
majcka, first of all very beautiful flowers!
I would call the last plant G. friedrichii, that is however synonymous with G. stenopleurum

And that "Fredy" put on some more show:
If you think it's alone; well you would be wrong. My Echinopsis subdenudata keep it company.

Re: Majcka 2012
All are really nice, Maja, but I especially love all the buds and flowers on the Gymnos.
Catch a falling star--but don't try it with a cactus!
Re: Majcka 2012
Thank you. Today it was no bud anymore. They were all flowers. I just didn't get time to take a pic, because I had to take my children to grandmother. By the way we were back they closed again.fanaticactus wrote:All are really nice, Maja, but I especially love all the buds and flowers on the Gymnos.

The flowers are really nice,my echinopsis has two buds on it!
When thousands of foes unite, for my ruins plot–
If only You remain by my side, I then fear not!
I live for a hoped union with thee, it is my desired prize–
Or all my moments are spent- in the fright of demise!
