My first cactus flower of the season - UPDATE

Post by rodsmith »

A bit later than some other forum users but very welcome, my Thelocactus hexaedrophorus has been threatening to bloom for several days and has finally made it today. UPDATE 14 MAY: Having waited for the first flower to open, a second one made its presence known today. There is a third bud hiding underneath but I don't think there'll be room for it!
