| Yesterday I saw my first Trichocereus flower of the season. It was a brilliant white flower almost bigger than the plant it came from, T. schickendantzii. I took some photos but I'm currently using dial up and I'll have to wait till I get into town to upload. Also where I'm staying there was a flowering Notocactus and some Mamms. Anyone else with flowering plants yet? It'd be great to see some photos. |

| Trig I think the most correct name for it is Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. Rioverdensis. Yeah its a nice turb, I like the flat tubercles. And another pic from today whilst i'm here: Melocactus Peruvianus  |
