They are incredibly beautiful! And I'm totally jealous of the flowering laueana. I'm looking for P. emarginata, among others.
 
A lot of my pings are covered in fish food at the moment but here is a few pictures of laueana and laueana crimson flower:

And Jim, I'm always looking for more pings to add to my collection so i would be happy to trade when the weather improves!
 
And i'm out of flowers for now.

I think it has a golden sheen/glow. Apparently, it looks much better in person. Looks like BCP sells them for 25 euro, although, I saw California Carnivores sell one in the US for around 150 USD :eyeroll: Maybe I should have CC sell my P. chilensis for me, they will certainly fetch a higher price for the plants than I can.
 
That's a lovely collection and some really stunning shots. Consider me an interested trading partner as the weather warms...although, I suspect that you have more that interests me than the other way around.
 
I expect more pings to flower this spring but here is a few more!
P. cyclosecta 1714 (I need more of these Yucca Do Complex plants)

P. rectifolia (Unknown origins but i call it my floriferous clone because it flowers pretty much all year long).

P. Huahuapan has to be one of the most spectacular flowers!

I don't think I'm the first to create an orange flowered ping hybrid but i'm certainly excited about it. The flowers are a bit lighter than the photos, more of a salmon/peach color. I like the purple stigma and yellow spot on the throat. I have more of it's siblings yet to flower so i'm hoping for more orange flowers.

P. rectifolia. Unknown origins but it has a habit of splitting into numerous plants when awakening from it's winter rosette which i have never seen in any other plant.
