Wow that’s stunning Diane
Mine also has its second flush today. Amazing how in sync they seem to be.

Re: Mammillaria theresae making the most of the sunshine!
My 20+ year old plant put it three tester flowers last week and decided that today was the day to go for it! Apology for what's become a bit of an annual photo show but I really like this plant
And despite having said for the past couple of years that I'm going to pluck up the courage to repot it, I'm ashamed to confess that I haven't. But... as soon as it's flowers are finished the scissors are coming out so I can cut it's pot off and get it into something a little more comfortable.

Diane's and Mark's plants are wonderful too I wonder how many different clones of theresae exist in cultivation? I suspect more than with M. luethyi?

Superb, Ross! (as it’s fairly readily grown from seed, there should be very many clones in cultivation I reckon).

That’s beautiful Ross, looks like you had sun today! Dull and cool here, not good for flowers waiting to open

Thanks Jean. Yes, we had a decent day here today, topped off by a nice summer solstice sunset at 9:52pm

Re: Mammillaria theresae making the most of the sunshine!
That's very nice, Ross! The clouds came rolling in here in the afternoon yesterday, so no nice sunset here.
Beautiful M. theresae by the way!
I had one flowering yesterday with a bit unusual flowers. I don't know if they could be called semi-double, but there seems to be almost an extra set of petals.
