Right on cue one of my own missouriensis seedlings flowered today as a 3 year old. Needed a bigger coin! No location data but the flower is much larger than the one above.
A nice deep color on this one

That should be a real looker when it gets bigger. Good Job!

I have tried many forms of humifusa here in Denmark, and none have worked well - all fungused up, I agree that the other you mention are the ones Trond should use.
(Ill send you some later on Trond)

I can see where that would be a problem.
A small list of Opuntia that tolerate winter wet.
O. humifusa
O. macrorhiza

One of my very favourite hardy cacti, for the flower colours- I much prefer these to the bright vivipara or similar shades of Echinocereus.. the 'open' bodies I don't like as well , but I'd tolerate them for those flowers
Just have one little batch of seedlings, need to buy a bunch of other forms!
