Re: Oreocereus in flower
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.

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

Re: Oreocereus in flower
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.
