Australian Dendrobiums are both hardy and space efficient for balconies. Mine haven't been tested below 4.5º C, but I've heard they're tolerant down 0º C.

Catasetum Maquiabelo from earlier this year. It's even in a larger pot than the previous year, but I guess that wasn't enough. Meanwhile, the overly-modest Cycnodes next to it has barely put any...

Ah, guess I read it backwards. I think I read recently that some of the old genera were being used again, one Echinopsis I have now being labeled Lobivia, at least by some.

That's a great looking cactus! It reminds me of this one in the Huntington Library's desert garden. Sounds like it's probably Trichocereus as well now, though the label is still Echinopsis (Flying...

I was back there a week ago wondering the same thing. The pot it's in looks roughly a meter across.
