Beautiful. I'm always attracted to flowers that dwarf the cacti. Your Eriosyce esmeraldana is awesome!

Thanks Arjen, yes it is kind of late in comparison with other European locations but in my place the flowers are always about 2 -3 weeks behind.
Today I caught a Lobivia flower open on the second day . Tomorrow it will probably be gone already.
