It's a computer screen and two photographs, so you never know if the colours are even vaguely close to nature, but BLMT 069.02 has so much deeper colour in this comparison.
If anyone has a spare head I'll happily cover p&p and some beer money.

Re: Cumulopuntia subterranea ssp. pulcherimma
Both nice forms, I wasn't aware of the "original" one which looks rather desirable. Any tips for getting this to flower? I have a large plant (of the Incahuasi form, I believe), but it has yet to oblige.

Mine is in full sun (next to the stressed- looking Gymnocalyciums mnetioned in a different thread) and is well watered once a week from April to September. Plenty of fans blasting away, windows and door open, but it often gets to 40C and beyond in the greenhouse.

Re: Cumulopuntia subterranea ssp. pulcherimma
Thanks Ralph! I might move it to the allotment greenhouse rather than keep it in the cold frame at home, for more sun and heat. Perhaps that will sort it out.
