Echinopsis multiplex flowers Hi guys. I've been quite busy lately and even though I check on my cactus daily, I haven't had yet the time to post more updates about my collection. In the future I promise I'll write a more in-depth post about this specie, its' characteristics, cares and stuff (as I usually do). But for today the post is just about a quick update on yet another future-blooming cactus. As you may have already figured out from the title, it's an Echinopsis…

IDless cactus: sad story but happy ending Hello there guys, I'm back again with yet another story about my cactus hobby. This one is kind of bittersweet. As part of my daily routing I have the habit of checking my cactus when I wake up or while I'm having breakfast. These past few days I've been very busy with work and on Wednesday morning I didn't check on them until past lunch time. I was with the mind elsewhere but thought "let's do a flash check and I'll get back to…
