No, this is Larryleachia cactiformis. I grow it as a cactus: dry half year and moderate water in summer. Mainly in mineral soil, it has thick roots.

A. kotchoubeyanus - ~ 30 mm in diameter, from seed 1996, but I got it much later.

Blooms from January.

Some blooms from February:


Mammillaria moelleriana.













Some buds coming too: first ever buds for these cacti.

My guess is that it is some neoporteria species.

I bought it as Neoporteria sociabilis and can't wait to see the flowers.

so pretty

7 of 7 opened that day.


How many seedlings you can spot in there?



First flowers seen of this Neoporteria.


the small Strombo is first.


Another flower today.

These Strombos opened flowers in the same rainy day. Not a coincidence, rather a mutual setup.



Lot of buds over this succulent after recent soil change.


Other recent blooms.

Hello 7george,
nice plants! My favorites are the Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus and of course the Turbinicarpus valdezianus. Also, the second to the last image is rather nice. Is that by any chance a Neolloydia?

Harald

That is Escobaria minima, tiny plant that blooms regularly several years in a row. Have 2 of them.

First outdoor winter survivors in my garden: some seedlings of E. viridiflorus.

Just a couple of recent blooms.





Growing next to each other actually.

Now have to wait for my outdoor cacti to start blooming.


So far just some succulents opened flowers.

Sedum acre getting wild as a ground cover.

Need to post something here too.

Earlier this month.


Discocactus boomianus started the blooming season quite late.


Seedlings of Huernia sp. (maybe H. McCoy) from this spring. Growing faster then most cacti.


The last photo is from today. And another view.

Because the species is self-fertile I've got some offspring of it.

Seedlings a quite slow growing in my conditions.


Chileans (Eriosyce curvispina) started coming out of summer dormancy.

Season changes in Alberta again:

After the fall comes some cold weather as well and I have to bring non-hardy plants indoors.





Several pots with different Opuntia will stay outdoors.






These above are not hardy and as they grow more problematic their overwintering gets. Decided to take those out of that bulky pot and store them bare-rooted.
