Good things come...
...to those who wait seven years.
Not the slowest in my experience (8 years for Pelecyphora aselliformis), but it may well be a particularly precocious individual. I can't help the feeling of accomplishment!

Re: Good things come...
They look great! Do you think the seedling in the middle is trying to do the same, looking similar to the big one at the growing point?
Looking at these makes me want to have a go myself with Aztekium, but I expect getting hold of seed might now be a major challenge here.

Re: Good things come...
The change of spination is possibly a sign of maturity (Strombocactus and Lophophora spring to mind), so yes, I'm expecting that one to come to age this year.
Seed is very easy to obtain once you have a mature plant (they're self-fertile), and there are lots of mature plants on the UK. You probably won't have any problem finding some.

Re: Good things come...
That‘s good to know, I‘ll try to track down some seeds, they look well worth growing!

Well done. That is lovely.
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: Good things come...
I have a few A. hintonii from the same year that look nowhere near flowering size. In fact, I grafted one of the minute seedlings to Pereskiopsis, then to Myrtillocactus, and despite being almost 4 cm across it hasn't flowered yet...
Re: Good things come...
Ive had have a couple of these for some yrs now & they flower every yr, a delicate little flower.
