Hi Russell,

Beautiful! How do you handle wintering in Sri Lanka? I mean how do you keep them at a cold enough temperature to induce dormancy?

Best.

I don't, no dormancy is given to them. Some species of cacti flower and some will never flower ( rebutia and some escobarias ). My only concern here is to shelter them from the monsoon season( due to the high humidity and a lot of rain they can rot instantly)

Repeated blooms.

The Cleistocactus winteri subs. colademononis has bloomed earlier this year and I think I ;osted one pic of it already - well, it did it again in August/September and here is that bloom (and buds).
Then there is the Andromischus herrei. Also in the late summer/fall.

Lithops flowers open in the evening. Not sure what exact species this one is ?

[A1essandro]

It is ~8° at night and maximum 22° in the afternoon, so I was surprised when M.schiedeana fully opened the flower. Because for example M.decipiens haven't open flowers.
