I could use some of that monsoon over here, I don't expect it to rain in any significant amounts before late August or September...

Good evening Jose, we have too little rain.
Only 50% of the average. The 50% then came in two hours. . .

How could I have missed it???

Thank you, K.W. You never miss my birthday!

I will be attending this year's ELK, but unfortunately not Teresa. I will be there from Friday noon to late Saturday, I'm sure we'll find the time to meet. Looking forward to see old friends and make new acquaintances.

and make new acquaintances.

Good evening dear cacti friends,

on Saturday July 22nd I had visitors.
The Krefeld branch of the DKG had made its way to my terrace.
For me it was a wonderful afternoon and evening.
So many interesting conversations and wonderful plantfriends.
AND from Prof. Winfried Jansen a book of his early paintings!

Here are some photos, even of a few flowers.


The weather was. . . ok!

Wonderful plants, super clean faces! I must find some seeds of this subspecies - it's subsp. groendrayensis, right?
