A friend of mine gave me 2 old conos in bad condition without label. I made some cuttings.
Please, can you identify these 2 plants :
C. obcordellum ?
C. truncatum ?
Thanks in advance.

Re: ID conos
Looks like C. uviforme. Are they flowering at night or day? I reckon during the day, if I judge the light on the photos well enough.

Re: ID conos
They are typical nocturnal flowers Aiko. But they usually stay open in the daytime at the end of their life.

Re: ID conos
Thank you Chris for answering for me.
I forgot to mention that the photos were made in artificial light.

Re: ID conos
I would be happy calling both of them C. obcordellum, not one of the better-marked forms though.
