Oh my, I am confused now. Notocactus rudibuenekeri and N. scopa look very similar... maybe I am mislabeling mine as N. scopa! I need to figure out the differences, as their flowers look similar too. Thank you for sharing the name, I may have told you the wrong name after all.
@hamwild I read N. Rudibuenekeri is in the same subgenus scopacactus.
I wasn't fond of the N.scopa flowers but I do like it :)
I noticed 2 distinct differences in the flower you can see better here: http://www.cactus-art.biz/sche...
for the links and information! Oh my. Mine doesn't look like N. scopa when looking at those pictures, there's no red present on the spines. I mislabeled it and told you the wrong information. I find it frustrating that when I googled N. scopa, they had pictures of N. rudibuenekeri.

Been watching my Senecio articulatus this winter season, finally understood that it is actively growing here around the cold season, though I have this one indoors. Love seeing new leaves on all the new growth which are usually roundish shapes but this time, I have been attentive in giving it good watering intervals, so the new growth is in various elongated shapes and new leaves on them:
I have this one and the variegated one growing in my greenhouse. They are so happy, that it is starting to grow everywhere. A piece will fall off and it immediately roots and starts growing. I used to think it was a hard to grow plant, but it's becoming invasive for me.
