Tunilla microsphaerica - whatever that equates to these days. I've no real understanding of where separate tunilla species have their boundaries...

Pterocactus gonjianii - one of the best ptero flowers, I think:

I'm impressed. Birmingham might be sunnier than Cardiff, but it was never that sunny when I lived there! You must be doing something just right!

It's a beautiful clone, which I'd love to be able to take to shows but it's terrifyingly brittle. You only have to breathe on it and the whole plant collapses.
