Just had another closer look. It seems like four/five flower buds emanating from and hiding a 5mm diameter offset. I will keep this thread updated if the plant changes.

Amazing

This Gymnocalycium damsii rotundrum has a flower plus a strange side growth.
Any ideas as to what is happening?

A rescue plant from post Covid

Should make a very attractive plant

Already is attractive

I may live in GOC but it's been cold and damp here for weeks. Only the warmer weather of the past few days had lifted the plants out of sulk mode. Looking at the forecast ... they'll be sulking again by midweek.

Thanks Ed
Nice to know that you're getting buds on the hybrids.
Buds .... yes.... but not on "the hybrids" here in GOC.
