First flowering (for me at least)

Post by Chris43 »

I acquired this Discocactus last year, it's a genus I've often admired but never grown before.
I don't know the p[ecies, have posted on the BCSS Facebook with no result, but its the emergence of the flower that I find so fascinating. Yesterday, you coud just see the flower bud down the tube inside the cephalium, and now at 1 pm on this dull day, it looks as though it'll flower this evening/night.
If anyone should recognise the species, please let me know.
