Nice flowers, Tim.

112, eh? And just think -- you're in one of the cooler parts of the Valley.

Nice Reichenbachii and the others too.We have only gotten to 98 degrees here this summer.

We're at about 2000ft of elevation here so were 5-8 degrees cooler than Phoenix-proper.

I braved the heat and took so pictures today. It peaked around 108. Luckily the humidity was only about 10%...

Astrophytum asterias hybrid of some sort. Made an attractive flower today.

Leuchtenbergia principis with buds! I only have one so no seeds this year.

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus inermis. I got this from Miles2Go at the CSSA convention. It's a little more than one inch across.

Two Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus - also from Miles, but with spines. Both a little more than one inch across.

Some beauties! Especially that T. pseudopectinatus inermis.

Awesome!
Put the Leuchty in the passenger seat while driving around. You're bound to see a Fero in bloom for some Ferobergia goodness

I hadn't thought of that! I don't even need to take it for a ride, I've got blooming Feros in the yard!

Sweet...

I love your plants and pictures. Cacti flowers a great but I really love to see varieties of spines! Thanks for sharing!

Hello Tim,
I agree, those are nice images. By the way, I believe I do have the twin of your Astrophytum asterias hybrid. They must come from the same source.

Thanks for the comments all. I really like the spines too. I have a hard time taking good pictures of them. I'll keep trying...

Hegar, I got my Astro hybrid at a silent auction put on by the local Cactus club a few years ago. Mine seems to be doing well now.

Oops, I forgot a picture...

Geohintonia mexicana. I got this about a year ago. It's just less than 1 inch across. The spines almost look like sesame seeds.
