That's a pretty light pink Sondra. Mine blooms often too so I started collecting them. They keep making babies too.

Twist and shout.

Love the spiraling.

The Akabana Nudum is ready to bloom again, since there is no other Astros in blooming, I may try to use the pollens of gymnocalycium or thelocactus to cross it.

@elgecko not sure if these are considered C&S but this is beautiful!


This one too!

The color of the cactus somehow influenced the color of the flower?

Kleinia galpinii now inside.
I guess this bloom would be a good candidate for a picture employing stacking?
IPhone 11

Oh wow definitely for database

I did!

And some s made it my way, thank you!

I cut off this chunk from a bigger Stapelia plant a few weeks ago and I guess it approves of the move.



This is the first time I've managed to notice the blooms on this species of Rhipsalis. Last fall I didn't notice any blooms but a few berries formed and I noticed those.


Lepismium blooms are almost as small but the pink color is a little more noticeable.

Very small flowers for a cactus.

Sedum morganianum, shy flowers, head on view



Aloe jucunda

Cute Sedum blooms!

I am not sure if this one is Curio rowleyanus or herreanus. I am leaning towards the latter. It was blooming on the deck all Summer here and there, but I just missed taking some pics in that corner.

Here's some of my flowering c/s

So pretty

fun collection!

Can't wait for you blooming Jade Ursula.

Sadly, my Jades succumb to our summer and I wasn't able to revive them back. So sad, Wish I propagated them but I was so afraid to chop them up! I still have baby ones, I rescued thankfully but it is not a good feeling to loose the big ones!

@HamiltonSquare so pretty!



My DD's lithops don't seem to be doing anything. Should we stop watering them now? The skins look wrinkly but only 1 has split.

Tricky to answer about watering or not. If there not splitting yet and night temps get low enough I would give them a drink if the pots dry. When in doubt don't water. Those leaves are their own water storage and these plants can handle droughts very well. Some of mine are overwatered and are stacking 😑which is multiple sets of leaves beyond two. They usually will rot after awhile.

So many flowering gymnos, one with pink color. Birth control policy, no more hand pollination.


This one has some how different color tone.

I have a beautiful blooming one! I am so proud of this survivor. This used to be a big plant and our hot, wet, and humid summer made the momma plant melt. This is one that also need to be propagated regularly if you want it to survive. Best way is to take cuttings late spring. And bring the rooted cuttings back outside early fall.



Another one I don't know the name but this was a clearance rescue:



The leaves are probably etiolated but not sure why when this was grown outdoors.
