I wouldn´t want to skip out on Eriosyce too much so here is to fill the gap

Quite a collection of Neoporterias!

Very nice!
There are many meanings for the word pico in Spanish, but i think in this case one spine would cover it.

Love those - esp. the E. taltalensis - what a fantastic plant!

Ahh , thanks Darryl : pico is more like birds beak and usually not a cactus spine, - I should start learning some spanish!

And thanks for all the nice comments, guys.
Here is another non Eriosyce - and an Eriosyce

You have some beautiful old plants there Jens!

Of coarse the young ones are nice too.

Awesome, Jens!
It looks like that you have that what we all waited for the whole winter.

Nice to see the Turbs kicking in for when the Neoporteria finally finish. If they ever do!

Thanks for all the great coments.
@iann: yes there are still some Neoporteria subgibbosa to flower in the coming weeks. Turbinicarpus are a little joy everytime the sun is shinig after a dull period.

Also had the first flowers today on this wilcoxia schmollii that Ralf sent me last jear, thanks again for the wonderful plant Ralf!
