Should make a very attractive plant

Already is attractive

I may live in GOC but it's been cold and damp here for weeks. Only the warmer weather of the past few days had lifted the plants out of sulk mode. Looking at the forecast ... they'll be sulking again by midweek.

Thanks Ed
Nice to know that you're getting buds on the hybrids.
Buds .... yes.... but not on "the hybrids" here in GOC.

The Rebutia awake!
Amongst them a Southfields 'Celebration'

Yes I agree .. my limited knowledge of cactus pollination would lead me to conclude that not all hybrids would want to hybridise again.
And even if you get seed .... viability ....

The problem with the cheaper 'voice activated label writers' is that they gradually turn plants into new species. When labels are handwritten, Vasquez turns into Vasquaz and then somebody else copies it and changes another letter and gradually a new name emerges. If that sounds a little exaggerated...
