Those strombocactus are stunning.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND

Good afternoon Tristan,

yes "Humkes Röschen" is a very rewarding plant!

That's a strange plant, Notocactus mammulosus.
From each and every one, areole comes an offshoot.
She has buds and the offshoots have already buds.
I am very curious how the plant develops. Got it last year from my "personal private cacti Scout".
