DreamTime i would almost give her a little drink, it looks like the damage won't be the end of her, with a bit of TLC im sure she'll be on the mend soon, dunno if others would agree but i have always made sure my plants get a light watering after sustaining sunburn.
I don't know the science behind it but the cacti which i have had get sunburnt have always been super dehydrated and i'm guessing they cant defend themselves from the sun quite the same like that.
What did you do to your cacti today?

Thanks for the tip Bogfrog
I gave her a small drink this morning, I really dont like giving her tap water but i guess its an emergency.
Its looking overcast here, fingers crossed on some rain tonight so she can have a shower in nature.

Got bored today and took a couple of pics since it was an amazing day in contrast to the torrential rain we've been having the last two weeks.

Grafted a Peruvy Crest yesterday on local stenocerues g. stock. (TYMutant)
Also grafted a Astro Huboki on peruv stock....(didn't take that well,.. but still hope) (TYMutant)
Multi Lophy grafts done on Peruvy stock last week.
Making more graft stock. Pereskiopsis and peruvy's.
I think I am going to focus on local cacti as graft stock for bigger grafts. They seem to grow so strong and are best adapted to the local climate. BUT you need cut away the spines.
