Isn't it funny when plants start to show buds? :)

They always look cute, those Blossfeldias.

How old is your plant? And how big in diameter?

Yes, they are very cute. I use maximum macro when I take picture of the flower, but I like it. It has flowered several times all ready and don't need a cold rest to do that :)

I have two 6 cm pots with a total of 9 plants of them. They are all 6 years old now in January and they where in a bag the first 2½ years. The plant with two buds in the picture are the largest one in that pot and are about 16 mm in diameter. The largest of them all are about 20 mm i diameter :geek:

You've done really well there then, Christer - they're fairly rocketing along. (tu)
