Re: March 2017 - Something from your favourite genus
I can't decide on a favourite genus, but I do have a lot of Turbinicarpus and keep sowing new species/varieties/populations each year. This is one plant I didn't sow and not one of the best looking, but when it blooms it lights up the greenhouse.

Re: March 2017 - Something from your favourite genus
Favourite genus. I guess I should not put in anything other than Eriosyce sensu Kattermann then, although a lot of other genera are close runners up. I don't think Eriosyce and the rest are closely related, so still use Neoporteria sensu Donald & Rowley (1966) for them.
Neoporteria floccosa
Neoporteria carrizalensis RMF 279
Neoporteria chilensis, red flowered form.
Fred Kattermann calls this pilispinus, but Roger Ferryman insists it is Neoporteria pulchellus.
The black spined Thelocephala Esmeralda AWC 454 (flowers in habitat vary from white/yellow to reddish)
Thelocephala esmeraldana FK 795 clustering brown spined form.

I don't have anything in flower or cacti but here are some succulents with great structural form.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

I like the monochrome one Liz and I don't normally like monochrome (or Other Succulents), seeing the world with "coloured eyes".

Re: March 2017 - Something from your favourite genus
Thank you Tony. It's good to know that others can appreciate something that differs from the pictures that are normally put here. This is a monthly photo competition and it is good to have something that is a little different.
The LIKE button is a must. There have been several of us who have requested it over the years.

Re: March 2017 - Something from your favourite genus
I am going to pick Liz M as the winner with the B&W Aeonium aureum .
If we had a like button the winner could be chosen by everyone, much like we do with our mini-shows at our branch.
