Cactus / Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas!

It is a good sunshine day today. The maximum temperature will reach 37 'Cin the afternoon. Less than 40 'C on the Christmas day is not too bad.

The photo is a part of my greenhouse, taken in this morning.

Cactus / moelleri

 3 echinocactus hirizonthalonius v moelleri were in flower in this afternoon.

The photo is one of them. I have kept 11 flowering size moelleri in total.

The moelleri has shorter spines compaired to standard one.

Cactus / heterochromus

 A thelocactus heterochromus was in flower yesterday.

This species was quite popular years ago when I bought seeds.

The cactus is a good size, 15 cm in diameter.

Cactus / myriostigma

 Two matured Astrophytum myriostigmas were in flower. The photo is one of them.

The cactus lost roots by rotting once but I cut bottom and rerooted.

The cactus is 15 cm in diameter and 20 cm tall.

Cactus / fukuryu banjyaku

 An astrophytum hybrid, fukuryu banjyaku was in flower yesterday.

Since my freind gave me seeds, I am not sure the history of seeds.
