Late and scented flower
Found this Notocactus (or Parodia if you fancy that more) warasii flowering today. Very sweetly scented.

Re: Late and scented flower
That's interesting. I haven't found mine to have much if any scent.

Re: Late and scented flower
Nice looking
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Re: Late and scented flower
That's lovely 
, I've noticed that some of my cacti are producing rather late flowers, Gymnocalycium ragonesei is in flower today and has been flowering on and off since May.

Re: Late and scented flower
Mine doesn't have any scent either, so you have a welcome bonus there. A pretty flower that l always I look forward to, especially as my specimens of N. magnificus are very reluctant to flower.

Collection mainly of cacti, though interested in a much wider variety of plants than I can accommodate!

Re: Late and scented flower
It’s hard to describe the scent - maybe some vanilla in there but sweeter. It’s the first time it’s flowered and it came as a surprise - I’m sure others I have seen in flower have been a deeper yellow.

Re: Late and scented flower
Yes, the flower on mine is a deeper yellow than yours (no photo unfortunately), but yours is a very nice paler variation.

Re: Late and scented flower
Mine's in flower today, too - a top cut of a really old plant. Couldn't detect any scent though.

Re: Late and scented flower
Maybe hard to believe, but this is the same plant 18 years ago.
