Re: my collection so far....
I know just how you feel mate =^~^=
I've had a lot of snail damage to my Rebutia's this season, never known it like this " Rogue snails "
My GF's Rebutia Krainziana was destroyed. My Rebutia Perplexa is disappearing one head at time after recovering from Red Spider. mother reason why I don't keep R. Perplexa ( red spider ) Rebutia Heliosa rooted pups have taken hits and my Mammilaria Spinosissima un pico have been hit badly and all I have left it two offsets I potted up, hoping they will take.
And several Echinopsis Eyreisii at Nash's Garden.
.
That crested copiapoa looks lovely. Congrats !

Re: my collection so far....
The rebutia it one of my outside cacti its just under a shelter from the rain, its the second time the little monsters have chewed a chunk out of it. They had an offset last time so I just pulled it off but they hit the main head this time. Ah well add to the list of cacti not to heavily invest in they are clearly too tasty. The Copiapoa does look good should be better tomorrow there are 8 buds on it so still a few more to go. My turbinocarpus macrochele has two ready to open and my lophophoroides is almost ready for another flower so they are all doing well.

Re: my collection so far....
Darn snails! I pulled a sleeping snail off my big Leuchtenbergia today. Fortunately it hadn't eaten anything other than a few petals off a neighbouring plant. Snails don't tend to bother eating my plants, apart from maybe the occasional seedling.
Other than that, your plants look great.

Re: my collection so far....
The bees liked the eriosyce flower, kept coming back to it all day. It was on my diffusa too but would not stay long enough to get a picture.

Re: my collection so far....
The turbinicarpus alosoni have started to pop open, got one little green seedling so far with other ready to go any time. I think the lophophora williamsii are starting to send out root hairs too so all is good in my light box at the moment.
