It is not so many but I have kept some South American cacti.
The photo is a Copiapoa hypogaea.
I am not sure the exact flowering season but it is in flower repeatedly between spring to autumn.

Cactus / miracle kabuto seedlings
I cut tap-roots of 2 years miracle kabutos completely in August and set them for the rooting process.
The rooting medium was crashed and shifted 2 mm scoria.
They were set into 50 mm square tubes.
I lost 2 of them during the process but it is not too bad.
Currently they are growing well. I assume fine new roots have been developed.

Cactus / alonsoi
The diameter of this degrafted Turbinicarpus alonsoi is around 10 cm.
The original alonsoi is a small cactus but the grafing affected on and made this size.
The plant has twin heads and cristated each head.

Cactus / red flowering asterias
Although I missed to take a photo in previous flower opening, I could took it yesterday afternoon.
Since the stigma is reddish, it should be a true red flower.

Cactus / asterias
The flower color of this asterias is unusual.
I assume someone in Europe tried to develop a red flower astetias but he could not establish.
The size of body is quite small due to the frequent crossings, I think.

Cactus super kabuto
I degrafted an old super kabuto, 15 cm diameter with a short grafting stock in this spring.
It was in flower yesterday.
I assume the cactus has already been rooted.

Cactus / hanazono kabuto
This one shows the character of hanazono (flower garden) kabuto well.
The plant was grafted once on Hylocereus stock and degraftd later with a short vascular bundole of the stock.
I am not sure the plant has still relied on the vascular bundle or own roots
