Last of the summer heat has brough out the gymnos last flush of flowers. My Gymnocalycium damsii is due to open one up and has a few buds left but don't think they will come to anything.
I have moved all my small seedlings indoors now in my light box. The night time temps are down to about 5°c now. Almost time to bring in the less hardy species indoors too. My matucana madisoniorum is coming in this year, nearly froze it o death last year. Also my Uebelmannia pectinifera and maybe all my eriosyce will come in too.

After about a year of growth this is still tiny. The other seedlings are all larger and look like tiny versions of the adults with largest being about 8mm I will add another picture later so you can see how tiny it is. Need to find a ruler first.
