Two pelecyphora aselliformis were in flower yesterday afternoon.

These cacti are rooted cuttings. The photo is one of them.

The rooting of pelecyphora is not so difficult.

Two matured astrophytum asterias cv super kabutos were in flower yesterday afternoon.

The photo is one of them.

The asterious has a starfish shaped body which is 15 cm in diameter.

Some astrophytum species start to be in flower. Spring has been in here.

The photo is one of them, a matured myriostigma.

I bought seeds and sowed in 2004.

3 uebelmannia pectinifera were in flower yesterday afternoon.

The ophoto is one of them.

I have not counted how many but they are in flower many times through a year.

A turbinicarpus valdezianus which has a flower of standard colour was in flower in this afternoon.

I have kept 20 flowering size of this species but the standard flower colour is just one of them.

The cactus is in 6.5 cm square pot.

Two turbinicarpus valdezianus were in flower in the afternoon today.

The photo is one of them. I propagated them from seed.

Spring has been here. I think I can see more flowers soon.

A degrafted Strombocactus disciformis was in flower yesterday.

It is still in winter here but the cactus pushes up a flower by unknown reasons.

I think I can see more flowers in the end of this month.
