Hello everybody, I haven't been on much lately.
The birth of my son and his growing up take up a lot of my time.
Still I want to share my flower pictures here just as I have in the last few years, so here goes:

starting with the most magnificent flower of all

I especially love Weingartia. If you'll have any seeds extra, let me know.

[Arjen]

I will certainly keep you in mind for that!
sensu stricta or also sulcorebutias?

Hello Arjen,
first of all, congratulations to the birth of your son. Going through the fatherhood process three times myself, I know, that children take time away from things that you normally do. However, it is time well-spent. Kids grow up so fast and every moment is precious. Soon the "little man" will be accompanying you and admire your cacti alongside you.
Apropos cacti. I love the image of the pink-flowering Lophophora williamsii and the Echinocereus arizonicus x davisii hybrid. At this time I do not even have an idea, what the E. arizonicus looks like and will check it out as soon as I have posted this message.
I also like the Gymnocalycium bruchii and of course that Echinocereus knippelianus. The latter I have had for a couple of years, but have yet to see a decent looking flower on it. I am not even sure, if it has yet flowered. Maybe it will surprise me one of these years.

Harald

I hope he will Harald, it will be a great joy to enjoy my cacti together with him!

Wow, wonderful!!

[Minime8484]

What an amazing assortment!
Really love the Weingartia heliosoides, but the Gymnocalicium andreae has got to be the most attractive Gymno flower I've ever seen - love it!

[Ralf]

Awesome!
