New cacti and succulents

You have lovely healthy cacti there Hywel. It is a bonus to find they will flower for you so soon.

Thank you. Som died last year and I didn't think I'd find them again.

Oh Hywel,you've been shopping again... I love that Astrophytum in particular. I always think they look like stars made by an icing tube. But yours has stupendous whiskers!

I love Astrophytums.
This is A. capricorne. It has yellow flowers with a bright red throat. It's a replacement for the one that died.
We just went to meet a relation for coffe in a local garden centre, and there they were !
I think there's a photo of it on one of my pages. I'll try and find it fr you.

And here it is :-

Although it doesn't have as many spots as my new one.

Hywel, on the thumbnail of this photo I thought it was a slivery Christmas card! Lovely selection of Cacti there :o)

Super collection Hywel!

Thank you all :)

Very nice ..also look like they were dusted with snow. Fittingly!
btw The Stapelia is large enough to flower- but those come and go very fast. I missed taking a photo of mines first bloom this end of summer. I just saw a faded bloom. Quick.

A nice collection Hywel ,I've no idea how you remember all those strange names , The tall one I rescued from our neighbours greenhouse when he moved he had left it for dead is thriving but doesn't do anything it's growing a lump from the soil at the base ,I'll have to send you a photo to see if its 'Normal ' :o)

Thank you both :)

I'll look out for the photo when you can do it Amy.

Thanks for the link Hywel - wow its a real beauty. The flower is bigger than the cactus. I had to laugh at the way the words in the link made it look as though it meant "senile member Hywel"! It was a great relief to discover that the "senile" was part of the cactus's name...I was just about to protest, lol.

Senile member Hywel ... LOL ! :D
Sometimes I think it could be true ;)

Glad to see you still have room for more, Hywel. Merry Christmas.

Thank you Linda. Merry Christmas to you also :)
There's always room for more cacti ! :D

The Cacti with the down, really look Christmasy. Happy Christmas to you.

Thanks Siris. You too :)

Wishing you &everyone on GoY a wonderful Christmas & a Happy New Year 2017. :-))
