Darling buds of March?
Was very surprised a couple of days ago to see these;
They weren't there over winter so these are new buds. They're ahead of my Rebutia in the office!

Re: Darling buds of March?
That's good
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Darling buds of March?
Think your Turbinicarpus will be out way ahead of my ones above John - amazing contrast to the spines!
No artificial lighting Tina but they are in the sunniest spot in my office - they're getting direct light from probably 9ish to about 3pm, when the sun is out. It's also mid 20s most days going down to 12-15oC each night.
I've got other stuff at a similar size or larger not showing buds so either these are very happy or just early starters! One is a Chamaelobivia 'Lincoln Whirlwind' that is much larger and hanging up so gets even more sun but no sign of buds on that yet! Gotta love the unpredictability of living things!

Re: Darling buds of March?
Hi Ed,
The buds are definitely this year’s, the ones from last year shrivel to a hairy blob or loose the fresher colouration even when they stay attached.
My Chamaelobivia are also starting to produce buds as are one or two Rebutias!

Interested in most genera of small to medium ‘globular’ cacti, large flowering Mammillaria, Epiphyllum, Trichocereus, Hildewintera, Cleistocactus etc, small Agaves, Lithops, Titanopsis, Faucaria etc, plus hybridising.

Re: Darling buds of March?
Very surprised to see these...only just over a year old and repotted for the first time two weeks ago...
Had them under lights in Nov/Dec/Jan and a dose of fertilizer last week...

Re: Darling buds of March?
Mamm Hernandezii often flowers late, around November time, this is a much better time for it to flower. Nicely grown and not an 'easy' plant.

I’ve been waiting 2 months for what should be a great show.

Re: Darling buds of March?
Still nothing on my Rebutia! Thought they would beat the Chamaelobivia to it!
