This is an additional stack from the same Chilean cactus, Eriocyse senilis, as yesterday's sack. I used image stacking, but I did not want everything to be remain focus. Hope you enjoy.

I used to specialise in Neoporteria's and Pyrrhocactus sensu Ritter. It was a pity that Eriosyce had to be chosen as the oldest name available for the group. Donald & Rowley avoided the problem years ago by excluding Eriosyce but Fred Kattermann had no choice when he lumped them all together. The senilis/nidis/multicolor complex is very variable as to spine colour and are just a single species.
The Katterman speciation has been changed slightly in The New Cactus Lexicon, mainly due to imput from Roger Ferryman.
I used to have a lot of the Karel Knize habitat imports pre-CITES in the 1970's but lost them in the same freeze Bruce lost his plants in.
Nice close up Irwin

Sorry for the delayed response but it was one of the frenetic weekends. Thanks Bruce and Dave.
Chocolates Bruce? Sounds great although I half expected Nikola to mention something fantastic with chocolate that would absoutely make my mouth water. Actually, I like experimenting with depth of field and focus stacking to selectively focus.
Dave, I agree that taxonamy has chosen a particulary ugly name, when it reclasified some of my favorite cacti. I don't know whether the differentions between members of the senilis complex were significant enough to demarcate species. Nevertheless, they seemed useful to aid discussion. One the bright side, it casues less consternation when the increadible tag stealers visit and by stealth of night appropriate my labels .
