Re: Schkumbergera lutea ssp. bradeyi

I use an advanced AI which deliberaely puts spelling mistakes in my typing, to mislead the other AIs trying to steal my ideas... :grin:
It's called a fat finger.

Re: Aylostera spegazziniana

I think your plant is Aylostera ritteri. (or A. atrovirens v. ritteri if you prefer).

Re: Time for a celebration ....

Only the third one is a Rebutia. The others are Aylosteras. It is easy to see why they were cons=fused before DNA sorted them out.

Me too!

I now have both Oscularia deltoides v. deltoides and v. caulescens (less toothy). Both have put out a good show of flowers in the last couple of weeks.

Chamaecereus crosses

I collected some seeds off my Chamaecereus 'Rugens Abendsonne" (other parent random), and got various seedlings up as result. The first two have now flowered. Nice enough, but no real wow factor...

Detlev's talk on Cactus seeds in colour was fascinating...
