    Quite a few have germinated now, I'll see if I can get some clear photos later today (the time being now 12:30am...) I also bought two young plants at the Cactus society meeting on Saturday, they were brought along by that night's speaker, I believe they actually came from Kent Cacti/Connoisseurs Cacti (I don't remember which one but they share the same site in Kent) Rebutia toquata FR117 which is now lumped into Rebutia pygmaea and also a hybrid Sulcorebutia 'Plum Tart' which I can't find any information on apart from a link on google to a no longer viewable eBay listing saying it was a new UK hybrid but it does have a handful of buds so I can't wait :)

    I received some plants off of eBay today and I'm really pleased with them, I've just got to clean off some of the soil from the one on the right...

    Matucana hayneii (I think it might actually be Matucana blancii)
    Matucana polzii
    Rebutia pygmaea v. friedri (I think the seller meant v. friedrichiana)
