Setiechinopsis mirabilis
Opened up last night about 10pm, got up this morning and the flower had gone over already. Tiny little plant two years from seed. Photo taken as best I could with a strong lamp and the flash.

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis
The flowers are beautiful, but I find the perfume unpleasant.
Probably because I'm not the pollinator that needs attracting!

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis
Luckily they are self fertile so set plenty of viable seed. That is an advantage since they are often not long lived plants, 5 years for most is doing well, so it is advisable to have a few seedling replacements coming along. Mine has just expired, but left a couple of fruits full of viable seeds.

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis
I wonder if the two are related. My plants seem to do better now that I cut or twist the dead flower off a few days after it's wilted.
