Up here mine is also already flowering. Even for the second time!

But it has been quite warm since late March. We have already had many days of 20C and higher for about two months now. Have not seen that happen a lot, so I am sure that has helped.

These are all around 10 years old. This one flowering today is the smallest one.

thats a lovely CLEAN plant do you spray a lot ?, I love the colour of the flowers on these.
Mine have been flowering for a while now but I sometimes mix the pelecyphora strobilfomis & Asselliformis pollen up will I end up with hybrids or will they know better ?
