Just a couple of heads that haven’t got flowers. A run of the mill ordinary Lophophora Williamsii but it’s the first year some of the biggest heads have produced triple flowers.

Re: Almost a full house
Thank you for the kind comments. I bought it as a small 2cm plant at a Bristol show in 1986, so it’s at least 35 years old. It is neglected, sitting in the corner of the greenhouse and getting a watering probably once a month, and over the past few years it is adding on more than an inch in diameter a year. The two biggest heads are now close to 4 inches in diameter so no idea what size they will end up eventually.

Re: Almost a full house
Wow, what are you watering it with Mike, Creamola Foam? Well it's certainly looking really good with your cultivation. A very impressive plant
