Summer over?

Post by GregoryBulmer »

Found this precocious Ariocarpus bravoanus hintonii in flower this morning. I know it's normally one of the first Arios to flower but it's still pretty early by their standards :lol:

I once saw one in flower in early May. Not mine, though. Mine like to stick to the calendar.

One of my largish Ariocarpus retusus flowered in late May this year as did Cheiridopsis peculiaris and a Mitrophyllum. All seem rather confused about timing.
