Good morning dear cacti friends,

A wonderful day and a great pleasure to seeing the guys again.
Dan gave me a key to his nursery, so I can already make very early in the day photos.
I already feel very honored!!!

Echinocereus; last year I have not seen a single bloom. This winter was very warm and very dry spring. Is that the reason for the late flowering?



Cylindropuntia versicolor

The color of the plant, it shows stress. Not enough water?

Good morning dear cacti friends,

today I was already at 05:15 am at Dan Bach´s nursery.
But that was too early yet to photograph no light.
At noon I had the great pleasure to see Jean Joseph.
Like last year, were all his greenhouses open to me.
