More Cactus Pictures and a Begonia

More pictures from yesterday afternoon -


When I really think about it, this Parodia microsperma is the only cactus I have that produces an orange flower (and it is the most prolific flowering cactus - almost non-stop).  Purple is the name of the game for the rest of these - most of the Mammillaria flower purple colored flowers





This is the first Gymnocalycium I purchased and it really turns purple in strong sunlight.


And because these aren't succulent I'll just tack it on to this post - Begonias grown from cuttings!

Parodia microsperma

Another one identified through the power of the internet and persistence!  This cactus has been a prolific flower producer and only now when I find out its scientific name does it stop flowering...



If you go back to posts from January 2017, you can see how much this plant has grown.
