Having said recently that I don't grow many cacti, here's two more in flower at present.
Astrophytum myriostigma

Nice plants Peter - especially like the Opuntia, which is well flowered.
I do grow a few cacti but quite a lot of Mesembs (especially Conophytum). The Conos have just started flowering. The first picture is C. frutescens and a nice form of C.bilobum with red anther filaments. The second is an accidental hybrid between the two and is intermediate in almost every respect.
Then a cactus - Neochilenia setosiflora. I've a load of spare flowering size seedlings if anyone wants any (EU only).

A long-neglected Rebutia muscata which always seems to be in flower.

Dioscorea elephantipes, this plant which is now 20 years old starts into growth the second week in September each year when it receives its first watering since March

Funny - our oldest and biggest Dioscorea started to grow just 5 days ago! The two smaller plants started
quite earlier, but we wonder why so many plants over the world start at the same time.
Last week at the Landau Garden Fair we had the chance to see Dioscorea mexicana together
with some other fine caudex plnts

This one has surprised me yet again. I thought its first flowering after many, many years was a fluke but it's done it again.
Leuchtenbergia principis which I always assumed was an African but to my amazement have found out it's from North-Central Mexico.
One must be very careful doing close-ups of this brute.

I think all cacti except one (Rhipsalis baccifera) are American plants, not African. Not counting the ones introduced by man of course.
Nice plant, John! Mine died a couple of years ago when I forgot to bring it inside in the fall

Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora' is a decided improvement over the type colour-wise at least. Oddly it is a little cranky to get going and friends have repoeatedly lost theirs. Persistence.....
Spent the past two days lifting some 900 succulents in advance of huge rains and possibly the tail-end of a hurricane hot on its heels. A hundred or so more will have to wait as I'm knackered.
1 the type
2 'Aurora'

Not enough sun for Argyroderma pearsonii to show his flower.
