Thanks Mark,I have placed most of my cacti under a shade cloth and now they produce good spines as opposed to the thick spination when placed in full sun.This makes them look a bit more 'cultivated'.

I got three plants today in the mail,a Melocactus curvispinus and two Myrtillocactus seedlings for future grafting.
M.curvispinus - The centrals are vicious,any idea how big they have to be to get a cephalium?

Yes,but I've always wanted a yellow or red flowering one,all of mine have this colour except one that has a bit dark pink colour.

Finally got a picture of the variegated loph,it's hard to get a decent picture due to the loph's small size.The picture doesn't do it any justice!
