None of my Ariocarpi have flowered yet, but this video (1.1MB) of a flowering Ariocarpus fissuratus var. hintonii gives a good impression of what to expect.

Variegated and cristate Lophophora
Many Thai nurseries are offering large selections of variegated and crested cacti. Unfortunately the Lophophora plants are quickly sold out so I haven’t obtained any yet. The photos below are courtesy of Deaw Cactus.
Lophophora williamsii crest (own root) – 13cm
Variegated Lophophora williamsii – 3.5cm
Variegated Lophophora williamsii v. caespitosa – 6cm
