We have the plain gray desert lizards. Not much to look at. Your Parodia is beautiful. This is a new species for me. None of mine have an orange flower.

Like the old western movies I guess. But now in your post I'm seeing tons of green, the buds, blossoms, and fruits.

That's one of my favorite fruits, and I am starting to miss it because summer just ended and there are minimal cantaloupes available in the market.
