Glad to hear your delighted. I've always liked that particular clone. I have grown it for many years and hope it is as reliable for you as it has been for me.
By the way that is the best photo of it I have ever seen!
Simply Stunning!!
Excellent Work Andy!!!

Thanks for the compliment but I can do better
The lighting was nearly ideal as it was cloudy (a little too cloudy) but the backround is much too white which takes away from the flower. A few more buds to go so I'll keep trying.

The dark long spines do show signs that macrocentra was involved and the even covering of spines across the pads shows the Polyacantha connection. These illegitimate offspring of inter-species cross pollination are not bad looking plants. Do you see more purple hues on the pads in cool weather?
It will be interesting to see which parent influences the flowers.

Looks like most of their trates are from the pollen donner connection, I have read this is true for most cross?
I see more purple but not much.
I will try and find pics of the plants before they died.
