First Tylecodon Flower
I just wanted to share this photo of my first flower on one of my Tylecodons. I have been growing them about 3 years.

Interesting. Anagram of Cotyledon?
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Indeed, yes. They were Cotyledons until 1978 when this sub-set were renamed as Tylecodons by Tolken.Greenlarry wrote:Interesting. Anagram of Cotyledon?
And new ones have been discovered and described since then, like Tylecodon tribblei, named by EvJ in 1997 in honour of you know who

Re: First Tylecodon Flower
I really like this, such a delicate little flower.
There is always room for more cacti...

Re: First Tylecodon Flower
Is that dead? How is the flower coming out of a dead stick?
