Wow! So that's the way it flowers. I got one of these recently, mine is labelled as M. J. sancarlensis. For Desert Tropicals they're the same plant...

Alessandro, I have M. sancarlensis too. It is a variety of M. johnstonii that has particularly long central spines.

Picture perfect Steve!

Looks like a non-edible B-day cake to me! :o)

Thanks for the votes of confidence. A new camera and purchase of a tripod means that I can improve on my picture taking. Some more good ones (I think anyway) to come but I'm on holiday mid next week.
Cheers,
Steve
