Here A.hintonii threw up a stealth flower two weeks back, then no more sign of any Ario flowers until today....

Today it was the turn of A.confusus and A.retusus scapharostroides

Some more out today - Arocarpus agavoides, probably about 12 years old:
Ariocarpus fissuratus - an old plant:
lastly, a hybrid between Ariocarpus hintonii and agavoides about 10 years old:

Here's a few of mine, I've been away for a week, so the first two are from before that, and the rest are from today or yesterday.

An old A.fissuratus. Double-headed Kotschoubeyanus. A.hintonii. Another fissuratus.

Another hintonii, A.kotschoubeyanus. I bought this little A.fissuratus along with 5 or 6 other plants from a trade stand
at a show earlier this year. They were all from an old collection that had been neglected for some time.
When I got them home and had a look, thet were potted in what looked like fine light grey dust. This plant
has a nice taproot, but not much in the way of "feeding" roots, so I potted it in 50/50 cat litter and pumice,
hoping for the best.

The last two. I have a lot more in bud, in fact my largest A.trigonus has about 15 buds, should be quite a show if I'm there to see it.

A grafted A.confusus. A.retusus.

Really beautiful plants, Jeff!

Snuck up on me, but finally A. furfuraceus throws a flower

It's throwing an offset, or is It two as well Ian? Lovely.

Just one offset, although it is getting big and making the whole plant lop-sided.
