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.

Looks great. I'm starting to worry that those small seedlings I have will soon each grow into a very large plant.
Hopefully it'll take many years!

This is a plant that grew very tall and got chopped. It worked and it sprouted a bunch of pups that now hide the old stump. I have another one, yellow, that is getting quite tall and might get the same treatment.

Not quite enough sunlight here in GOC to get my few Mammillaria to fully open the flowers. I'm desperate to try out a photo technique for a particular project on which I'm working.
