It’s the end of May, so, of course… it’s time for flash photography! Light levels are so poor this evening that there was no other way of capturing the buds on these two plants, Rebutia neocumingii (formerly Weingartia, although I’m not sure which one, as I can’t find the label, so I’ll give it the newer name for now) and Lobivia arachnacantha (or if you like to use the massive uber-genus Echinopsis for everything that isn’t an Eriosyce, it’s now Echinopsis ancistrophora ssp. arachnacantha). Both plants have lovely flowers, but there’s something very pleasing about the buds too. The Rebutia is, of course, on the left.
