Pterocactus tuberosus is fully hardy with me and grows since 20 years with us
at a hot and dry place.
The other plants are in the house during the colder season.

Several years ago I bought a very cheap box with 40 mixed sedum  in order to plant them into clay pots which form the border of a flower bed. They growd without any care, some flowered mostly yellow or white. This year I found a wonderful bunch if flowers from one of these plant. I wonder what it is.

News from  "the Caley" - the Royal Caldeonian Horticultural Society - they intend to host a Cacti and Succulent display at Saughton on 11th and 12th June. "Whilst we have called it a display,  we are interested in holding a regular show in the future if there is enough interest."

The categories are in line with those used for the virtual show in 2021.
 Details in the images below.....

Copiapoa barquitensis is rather free flowering.
Last autumn I noticed a small fern beside Echinocereus polyacanthus, resulting from a spore
of a Cheilanthes tomentosa.It survived the winter dryness as you can see beside the
flowering plant in spring and the actual picture shows a well developed plant.

Got this plant some years ago as an Echinopsis. It seems to enjoy our extremely hot weather
and flowers like never before.

Astrophytum myriostigma and A.capricorne enjoyed our hot summer
on the windowsill and flowered profusely.
