Sods law, after all the sun we've had it has been dull today, but the bud has opened up a bit.

Re: Echinocactus horizonthalonius
Another day or two of sun and you should see it fully open. This is one I saw just a few weeks ago in Big Bend National Park, Texas. It was 38C and the sun was belting down.
Hope you get to see yours fully open and please post a picture.

Re: Echinocactus horizonthalonius
Hi, Lithos.
If you missed this it is in the July Plant of the month.
Here is my horizonthalonius from Seed sown 15 years ago.

Re: Echinocactus horizonthalonius
Lucky you Lithos and Agavegeoff.. I'm stil ltrying to grow that.. thing from seed. So I'm far away from even a plant, not to mention flower 
But I'm glad yours are doing so well.

Re: Echinocactus horizonthalonius
Love this plant...can be tough to raise, but such a great plant. Grows like a weed in habitat though!!

Re: Echinocactus horizonthalonius
Grows like a weed in my greenhouse and never had a problem with it too. Is plenty of winter heat the trick perhaps?
