Re: Flowers!
I see your ‘Lincoln Friend’ is doing the same as mine - fringed petals. Hopefully later flowers will be normal.

Re: Flowers!
I know, the beauty is in the eye and so on, but I really like the fringed flowers, they are a tad more special. If the plants stay like that I'll happily save them from being binned!

Re: Flowers!
No evidence of thrips, it seems to be a curious anomaly.

Re: Flowers!
Same with mine as well. I put it down to a young plant but it looks like it's something environmental. Again I've no evidence of thrips and it has been growing in my office so hope I would have noticed thrips on things!

Re: Flowers!
It did the same last year, later flowers were normal and rather spectacular.

Re: Flowers!
I have this as Aylostera pulvinosa. It was purchased from a Branch sale as a remainder in need of TLC. 8 months on it has repaid the treatment.
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: Flowers!
Looks typical for A. pulvinosa to me.
