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

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.

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

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