| Escobarias are quite rear in that region, I think even close to northern limits of the species. I found them at the tops of these eroded grassy hills, facing south - on sunniest and driest spots. | |

| Hi agrippa, Nice to see some good looking plants in habitat, with a bonus of Vivipara's large flowers too. It's finished flowering for me in the uk at present. I miss it's wonderful scent when I walk into the greenhouse first thing in the morning. Derek. | |

| O yes, the odour.. It could be felt from a meter or two above, esp. if several flowers ware open. Could not resist to stick my nose inside like these bees. It reminds that of large-flower Mammillaria. I also mentioned some plants with light-coloured whitish central spines like this one but most there had rusty ones. | |

| And finally a plant in my rock garden opened a flower today. And another one in a week later with two flowers.
