Keep missing this one being fully open, if closes back up by the time I get home from work.

Lovely colour flowers on that Steno . And the good ole Turb !

Ah that was quick =^-^=

I see you got the E. Occulta . Have to admit they are interesting looking plants , unlike anything else I have in my collection.

I'll slap up pic when my plant flowers. That way you'll know why to expect .

.

Rearranged my window sill . Taking some plants back to the Allotment Greenhouse, make some space on the Living Room window sill :lol:

I got it from ebay, its from a private nursey and they said its about flowering age. So, hopefully once the roots have settled and its been watered I might lucky. They are very different, even from my e.paucicostata.

One I caught still open when I got home from work, the others I either just missed so hopefully I'll catch them tomorrow or they are not quite ready so hopefully some big flowers soon. Also I think my opuntia ficus indica has buds although im nit sure so maybe some of those flowers soon too.

Got plenty of seeds on the way, ariocarpus mixed pack, Discocactus mixed pack and Blossfeldia. Just sown lophophora williamsii from CactusFanDan and some rebutia muscula he sent me, hopefully the royalmail have pulled they finger out and delivered the ones I sent him. Any way more pictures to follow and I will get round to taking some of the seedlings I already got.

Fantastic stuff Ade !

It's amazing what a lick of sun can do.

The flowers on the G. Vatteri looks great.

My two plants. The first one had two buds , they waited and waited and never fully opened . The second plant , the buds just gave up with all the drearism and fell off =^~^=
