Back home in Cologne. Yes, I did not pay the parking ticket - but is not that overreacting? OK, I give up. . .

Good evening dear cacti friends,

the season is almost over. . .
What should I show now?
I will show photos of days that were not yet an issue.
Days that mean something to me, like the 25th of June (2017).

Beautiful photos, K.W.!
Do you happen to know the names of the yellow Echinopsis shown in 167089 or 167145? Very nice. (They might be the same cultivar.)
I also really like your crocuses. It's hard to believe it is already spring for you in Germany. Here in Minnesota we have lots of snow on the ground and -20C.

Good evening PomPom,
thanks for the kind words - will tell the plants.
With a little sense for the needs of cacti, flowers should not be a problem.
I wish you much success! (And patience !!! :) )

Best wishes

Good evening Peter,
thank you very much for the words of appreciation!
Even in Germany is still winter, but until now a very warm winter.
January was on average 4.5 ° C too warm.
In addition, Cologne is located in the so-called Cologne Bay - very mild climate throughout the year.
But also very high humidity.
Anyway, now comes winter, next week frost - minus 5 ° C / 23 ° F.

Here are photos of the yellow flowers.
Side by side you can see the difference. . .
