Mine is also flowering, as it tried for the past few weeks.
Enough sun this autumn, it seems.

They didn't open fully for me today, and we (also) had a day with sunshine throughout the day. So maybe you have not missed much too.

Re: First timer Mammillaria hernandezii buds showing
Which other Mammillarias flower very late (or very early) in the year, please? I usually put them under the bench for the winter while the mesembs have the best light, but it seems there are some I need to take better care of!
First it was orchids, then, since c.2001, cacti and succulents. I'm into South African plants, mainly conos, lithops and haworthias, with a few cacti, especially 'posh' mamms, turbs and other smalls. Now it’s stapeliads as well...
