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.
