Dream come true ...

Scientific name: Sulcorebutia arenacea
The sandy rebuta is a succulent cactus, beautiful even without blooming. It is native to Bolivia. This is with perfectly neat, symmetrical spines and yellowish orange flowers. The stem forms pups after certain size and age. If you need to see flowers on the plant you should not water it for many days. Scanty watering enough and the soil should be allowed to dry. I planted this one ten years before while i was working in Bangalore. We are moving with it where ever we go. It flowered on 29th April 2011 and am lucky to take the photograph in the morning itself!
