Very nice Diane. Do you have much of a problem with mites on them? I've started a collection of Sulcos a couple of times but the mites left me disheartened both times and I disposed of them.
Not just you Nick, I struggle with Rsm on sulcos worse than any other group (perhaps excluding coryphantha). Had alot of good plants suffer this way, rather disheartening.
I've just invested in a supply of abamectin (dynamec) to this end, last august/September was the worst rsm season for me for some time.
Amazing photos by the way, long way ahead of my plants, cracking specimens.

Well under way now! More pics taken on the iPad, so not the best definition, I'm afraid.

More than adequate for the task.
Super plants!
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
