Some great cacti porn in this thread, no doubt about it

What size is that Loph in pic #2 of the above post PD ^^^

Amazing pics!!! i am waiting, very "patiently' for my turbs to flower!!! my obregonia all flowered, but i missed tehm with my camera


L. williamsii f. caespitosa


got some buds of other species coming

cant wait to see more pics!

That lil fatty is about 40mm trig.

Nice shot Kada, and a fantastic plant

Mamm. carmenae white spined form:


this species was once extremely rare in collections, near impossible to obtain and one of the ultimate prizes of the cactus grower. now it is somewhat common commercially. this specimen has unusual pink stripes through the flowers too, indicating it could be x laui. the type species has yellowish spines and white/cream flowers.

How did I miss this thread...........awesome everyone

I will add to it very soon I promise, heaps of buds happening and the summer like heat of the last few days will bring them on pretty quick

Wow - all those turbs - flowers almost bigger than the plants.

Fantastic shots guys - keep them coming

Mammillaria bocasana multilanata type:

Gymnocalycium netrelianum:

another pic;

one of my freaks flowered:


with plenty more to come!
it is a Mammillaria spinosissima fma. monstrose cultivar 'Un Pico' fma. cristata. (try saying that 5 times as fast as you can .. its a good one to confuse the hell out of the laymen with).

More! Please!

....Awesome photos

Nice shots Lewis, I can't wait to see your collection in the full.
I dunno about those lophy turb pics, don't get me wrong they are really nice plants. but to be honest the flowers aren't that showy.
I forgot to bring my camera to the interent cafe, so you'll all have to wait. I have heaps of photos of flowering plants. I'll upload em to the gallery next chance i get.

Yeh not really big and showy, more fragile and precious , kinda like the flowers on my haworthia, tiny but beautiful. ill try get a pic later but most dont turn out as the flower is so small and my camera is so crap.

Is that the plant you found at CC?
I can see it looks like its starting to form a crest but where does the monstrose bit come into it lewis?? Wouldn't it just be fma cristata like most cristrate plants are referred to, i thought cristation was a recognised form of monstrosity and therefore no need to call it blah blah blah fma monstrose fma cristata. Just seems like a bit of a mouthful and unnecessary really
