That is a serious amount of wool on your plant, Jim. Here is mine, showing the single central spine but with wool only at the flowering region:

My month of May is very different from yours, maybe I should use an April photo instead. Anyway, here is
M. guelzowiana this past weekend.

This is my Capiapoa Humilis, very beautiful big yellow metallic flowers.
It has not stopped flowering since I repotted it in March off the two bigger growths (the smallest one now has buds too); on each growth tip a flower springs up for 2-3 days and a new one replaces it!
I am worried it is going to kill itself flowering! Too bad I have nothing to pollinate it with :/
