A nice display
My Conophytum scitulum is in almost full bloom this evening - just a few buds still to open. I brought it indoors as it failed to open in the conservatory yesterday. It must appreciate the extra warmth.

Re: A nice display
Very nice, Rod - any perfume? Usually the nocturnal species have a pleasant scent.

This is really nice, Rod! I very much like the colours and the pattern of this particular form.

Re: A nice display
I reckon that is an obcordellum form (ceresianum?). Scitulum is a minimum form.

Re: A nice display
Thanks all for your comments. Having looked at some photos online, Terry, I think you're right. I bought it from a branch auction several years ago and it was described as C. scitulum (minimum). I'll have to alter the label and my records. I didn't notice any scent but my sense of smell is not what it used to be. I'll check again this evening.

Re: A nice display
Your picture is appropriately titled ..... that is a nice display
