Very nice Ola
What is the white-flowering plant at bottom right of your first picture?

[ashley]

Some gymnocalyciums flowering over the last couple of weeks:

G. andreae is flowering on & off since April
G. andreae v fechseri
G. baldianum    This clone is much deeper red when it opens first.
G. gibbosum v brachypetalum

[ashley]

Chamaecereus hybrid 'Aquarius'
Parodia mairanana atrispina also gets paler over time
P. saint-pieana
Weingartia cylindrica albiflora

[Maggi Young]

Chamaecereus hybrid 'Aquarius' - wow! what a  stunning  colour  combination!! 

  Makes  me  think of  lotus flowers and  sunsets   

[ashley]

Indeed it's quite an eye-full Maggi and keeps going over a couple of months so earns its keep.

[Anders]

A nice variant of Opuntia phaecantha and fully hardy here north of Copenhagen.

The hot weather is ideal for Cactii and other Succulent plants.

Here is a pic of a interesting Rebutia - it was collected before many years from a german which live in Argentina - his name was Dietrich Herzog
I got this plant from him before more than 25 years ...the plant was found in the Sierra Medina
....and got the field nummer DH 398
Which species of Rebutia this is is unclear .....in the same mountains was found Rebutia xanthocarpa  ( which grows normal  in the Quebrada del Toro )
The other plants has normal red - orange flowers ...but this plant has a unusal color
I had the idea in this year to make seeds and to give they some of my Cacti friends ...surplus seeds are on my seed list :

Nice to see this one Hans.  Great that it's self-fertile like other 'true rebutias'.

Fine plants as usual Rudi; I particularly like your turbinicarpus and wonder how old it is.

Also a very nice opuntia Anders, there in desert Zealand
How do you protect it from winter rain and in the garden does it flower regularly or profusely?

[ruweiss]

Ashley, thank you for your friendly comment. You are right, the Turbinicarpus is very old.
I am not quite sure, but this plant is at least since 25 years with me.

[ashley]

Great to have a plant over decades Rudi, and it probably improves with age.

Gymnocalycium 'Jan Suba' (x2)
Notocactus (Parodia) submammulosus var. minor
Parodia saint-pieana with a frequent visitor

[ruweiss]

Astrophytum capricorne and a huge ´stony' cactus,
 chiseled by Aztekian craftsmen more than 500 years ago

[cohan]

Great plants, everyone!
Rudy-- that capricorne really has some age
The stone cactus would be good for those Instagram designers ( they are not real gardeners) who like to place the cacti for decorative effect, away from the light....lol
