Lobivia haematantha rebutioides sublimiflora (syn. Echinopsis denspina)
We received this plant with the following moniker: Lobivia haematantha var. rebutioides subsp. sublimiflora which is also known as Lobivia rebutioides var. sublimiflora (Backeb. ex Wessner) Backeb. or, simply Echinopsis densispina (Werderm.)Whatever it is, what flowers!

Weingartia variegate
We've had this Weingartia in our collection for longer than we can remember. And it flowers prolifically every year.

Beaverton Succulent Garden
No, this isn't a garden in Tucson; it's in the Portland, Oregon metro area. Mark Burgess has created a beautiful garden which includes many cacti and succulents which many would assume couldn't survive outside in our climate: Agave 'Green Goblet', Echinocereus rigidissimus subsp. rubispinus and E. rigidissimus albispina to name a few. Plus, of course, a wide variety of chollas and other opuntias. Good job, Mark!

Epiphyllums 'Stormy Weather' and 'Butterup'
This morning I'm posting a double-header. Well, they're not on the same plant..., but this is a photo of both 'Buttercup' and 'Stormy Weather' blooming at the same time. I never get tired of these!

The Epies are blooming!
We don't have a large collection of Epies, and they don't really fit in to our desert plant greenhouses, and at this time of year we generally wish we had room for a whole lot more! I'll be posting a few photos we've been taking over the last couple of weeks, beginning with 'Red Rocket', and what a beauty.
