Some gymnocalyciums flowering over the last couple of weeks:

G. andreae is flowering on & off since April
G. andreae v fechseri
G. baldianum
    This clone is much deeper red when it opens first.

The hot weather is ideal for Cactii and other Succulent plants.

Here is a pic of a interesting Rebutia - it was collected before many years from a german which live in Argentina - his name was Dietrich Herzog
I got this plant from him before more than 25 years ...the plant was found in the Sierra Medina
....and got the field nummer DH 398
Which species of Rebutia this is is unclear .....in the same mountains was found Rebutia xanthocarpa  ( which grows normal  in the Quebrada del Toro )
The other plants has normal red - orange flowers ...but this plant has a unusal color
I had the idea in this year to make seeds and to give they some of my Cacti friends ...surplus seeds are on my seed list :

Nice to see this one Hans.  Great that it's self-fertile like other 'true rebutias'.

Fine plants as usual Rudi; I particularly like your turbinicarpus and wonder how old it is.

Also a very nice opuntia Anders, there in desert Zealand ;) ;D
How do you protect it from winter rain and in the garden does it flower regularly or profusely?

Ashley, thank you for your friendly comment. You are right, the Turbinicarpus is very old.
I am not quite sure, but this plant is at least since 25 years with me.

Great to have a plant over decades Rudi, and it probably improves with age.

Great plants, everyone!
Rudy-- that capricorne really has some age :)
The stone cactus would be good for those Instagram designers ( they are not real gardeners) who like to place the cacti for decorative effect, away from the light....lol
