Re: Another pterocactus
This is lovely too. It is another unruly one for me (and a lazy flowerer). Do you prune this one in the autumn?

Re: Another pterocactus
I have this labelled as P. valentinii (Puente Pyramides). The flowers don’t ever open up much more than this - is that normal? Sorry for poor photo, the flower colour is actually not that dark and is more orangey brown.
Re: Another pterocactus
Al, all perfect, it's normal. The plants are on the local mountain near Puerto Piramides - where the bathers walk with flip flops.

Re: Another pterocactus
No I don’t prune valentinii. I find it tends to be a somewhat untidy plant and has the least impressive flowers of all the Pterocacti but I do keep a couple for completeness sake.
