Coryphantha echinus

This is a small Texan species, densely spinned and clumping. Most common among Coryphanthas silky yellow flowers are produced early in age and freely, usually several times over the season.

Rebutia fiebrigii

This plant is year-round bloomer in my collection, with a short break in the middle of the winter. R. fiebrigii is variable in appearance and flower color, and loved in collection for it's denser spines.

Escovaria arizonica

Escovaria arizonica is one of easier in culture species, variable in appearance but not in flower. It blooms readily in late spring-early summer, with nice pink flowers. It is also cold and wet winter-hardy. 

 By some reason the whole Escobaria genus does not get the popularity it deserves among collectors.

Tunilla erectoclada 'pikardoi'

This spring my T. pikardoi is the very happy bloomer. It is a large creeping plant that is left outside for the winter rains. With my first watering I have provided extra dose of fertilizer, as the grow media was washed clean over the winter. Apparently that was the proper thing to do.

Echinocereus dasyacanthus

Yet again, it is E.dasyacanthus blooming time. This form has remarkably large flowers, about 5 inches wide when fully open.

Gymnocalycium horridispinum

Gymnocalycium horridispinum is a somewhat forgotten species, treated as G.monvillei form now days. It is one of the larger Gymnos with showy pink flowers. The adult plant stem is somewhat simple-looking and could be mistaken for Echinopsis.

Notocaus rutilans

Notocaus rutilans is a small plant noted for it's colorful flowers. It is common and often can be spotted at garden center succulent benches. Small plants look neat, but with age they stay single-stemmed and tend to turn misshaped and ugly. Flowers stay nice though.
