New growth

It’s always nice to see real activity picking up again, and the last few days’ sunshine (despite some greyness in the middle) have really brought things back to life.

Left to right:

Tephrocactus (?) “booleanus” - possibly in reality a form of Cumulopuntia boliviana (perhaps C. boliviana ‘dactylifera’?), but T. booleanus was the name it came with. This plant has had a couple of very slight waterings now.

Echinocereus adustus - a two year old seedling plumping up ready for growth.

Escobaria leei - showing new white spination.
