          A 40yr old mammillaria with still just the one head.
          Is that unusual @Michael Hewett , or just usual for that species?

          See, I've never understood the allure of Cactus, but I must admit there are some fine examples here :blue thumb:

            It might be a gymnocalycium, but I'm no expert, any ideas anyone?

              It is starting to split into two @pete but only since last year :smile:

              We don't all like the same things @Freddy. It takes all sorts ... I hate lawns. I think grass belongs in a field, but there are those who love their little bit of grass - I can't understand it !
              I just love cacti :biggrin:

                    Beautiful Michael, your Rebutia heliosa is the wrong colour though... Might it be a Rebutia heliosa hybrid? There's quite a few around often in two tones of yellow/cream/pink/purple

                      Yes it is a hybrid but I have mislaid the label. I'll have another look for it. :smile:

                        DSC_0125.JPG Got two separate clones of this Echinocereus, both from seed.
                        When they cross pollinate the fruits that form have a very strong melon like scent when ripe.
