My starter for ten is the spineless form of Tephrocactus bonnieae with some rare buds:

A picture I already posted on Italian forum Cactus&Co., Trichodiadema densum buds in the magic moment when they appear like jewels.

Same bud, same plant - and tomorrow there will be no bud any more! Today was a sunny but cold and windy day, all Lithops took colour.

I know I have probably posted this sequence before, but the theme is buds! This is my Echinocereus triglochidiatus

Every summer Pediocactus despainii produces some buds on its highly shrunken body. Then nothing until about March of the following year.
