Fell for this pot cover, so had to buy a small cactus as well (echinopsis 'Domino' I think) to fit it!

It's Echinopsis subdenudata, has big white flowers. It may flower for you one day, it does so easilly.
Here's a link to a photo of the flowers on mine a few years ago :-

The one behind looks like Echinocereus rigidissimus. Does it flower for you ? it has beautiful pink flowers.
Mine has died :)
Here's a link to a silly little blog I wrote many years ago, showing the flowers ...

Glad you like, Paul.
Thank you for all the info., Hywel, I shall look out your blogs. Needless to say there was no info on the cactus as to name, just 'cactus mix'. Now I shall know how to look after it better. The red-topped echinocereus was named. I have had it for 6 months, from the Malvern Show. I had read about it and think it is a very pretty one. They say it is not long-lived in the info I have been able to find. No flowers yet: it's a very small one!
