Wow! Did not know broms can be so beautiful. I do not usually look at them but this has very unique colour and forum. Love the thorns. The flowers are so beautiful.

What a beautiful plant!! It's so similar to Dyckia, another relative. Might want to find this and grow it among my crypts!! *biggrin2*

David, I always get scars after attending to it. That's why I keep so few of them. Alvin, there are a lot of beauties in Dyckia too. Again, spines is the major setback in them!
