lobivia flowers are stunning without exception, I really love the look of your thelocephalas too!

Thank you for the positive response.
I like these little opuntoids because of their unusual flowers

Great plants, Jens!
That E. esmeraldana is something special.

Thanks people!
yes this clumping type of E. esmeraldana does have an unusual flower and it seems to be reproducble in other plants of this proveniance too.
My other flowering esmeraldana looks quite different from that one. (pics from last year)

Beautiful pictures and flowers as always, Jens!
The several cuttings, doing very well and show some new growth, which you sent me last year. Thanks again!

Jens, I never tire looking at the wide array of types you have and am so impressed that you have the knack (and knowledge) for making them all bloom.

you would hardly expect those esmeraldanas to be the same species
that nigristomata looks breathtaking!

Thanks for the comments, people!
Hi Ralf it´s nice to hear that the Pterocactus cuttings are growing well. Some kuntzei /tuberosus will start to flower quite early.
Here are some more flowers of the last days
