Great close-up in the first photo, Mark. I thought it was a much bigger flower until I saw the other photos. The plant looks to be in fine condition.

Well done!
Is it O.sericatus?
I see it is tied up. I'm guessing its quite tall.
Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.

A big plant :eek:

How soon after rooting did it flower?
Did the mother plant flower prolifically?

Hi yes the mother plant was covered in old flowers, my cutting all flower, with ten plus. Rooting they rooted very quickly with in a couple of months. They need repotting now as they've bin in the same pot for about a year now.
