First flowering today. Perhaps not the prettiest of plants but in my humble opinion a very likeable flower.
Copiapoa Tenuissima

Re: Copiapoa Tenuissima
Well worth growing and a nice plant, my older one is also in flower now.

Re: Copiapoa Tenuissima
Seems to have forgotten it flowered a couple of months ago... Value for money! Are they prone to this?

Re: Copiapoa Tenuissima
They flower periodically right through summer. Good value for money! They'd probably do it through winter as well with a bit more warmth and sun.

Re: Copiapoa Tenuissima
Its definitely very nice plant! Although all copiapoa intimidate me, I'm trying to save gigantea but not sure how is it going to go...
I had tenuissima burst into bouquet there about a month ago, pretty fascinating must say

Re: Copiapoa Tenuissima
That is beautiful! And looks a little different to mine in both shape and spination? Lovely plant...
Re: Copiapoa Tenuissima
Hopefully that's just a check in growth, there's no sensible reason to graft Copiapoa Tenuissima.
