These Trichocereus and Echinopsis were in flower today. I tried to not post too many but it was difficult and also some I could not remove the pots because they are all close together or too heavy. I promise not to post any more otherwise I will get complaints of overdoing it!!!
I would add that the Trichocereus hybrid YES has 13 flowers including the buds to come out. It was difficult to photograph showing all the flowers. This is the most it has ever had and is an old plant now like me.
I hope you enjoy these - anything to brighten out days.

You can't overdo with pictures like that. The hybrid 'Yes' is from Mark Dimmitt in Tucson. Great plant with a uninspiring name.

There's no such thing as too many pictures, especially when they are as good as those.
Keep them coming ... please

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.

Re: You asked for more pictures!
Yes, me too. They would be worth growing without the flowers, all the infinite variety of spine length, colour, density etc but when they do - WOW!
