Copiapoa grandiflora

[Acid John]

Nice pale yellow flowers on a what is for me a slow grower.

Thanks for sharing.
You are making me feel guilty for not posting many this season.
My GH is only just beginning to show blooms ... mainly Rebutia and a few Gymnocalycium

I thought Copiapoas were from Souty America.

Slow or just small? Mine about ten years old from seed are still small, although they flower regularly. Descriptions say up to six or eight inches across and some habitat photos show strongly-spined plants and even large clumps, but they may not be quite the same thing that we're growing.

I tend to grow my plants hard so perhaps in someone else's greenhouse they may be faster and greener.

My copiapoas in general are also slow growing and reluctant to flower. The only exceptions for me have been montana and hypogaea, which are faster growing and more ready to flower..

Looks like maybe an echinoides form, the spines and flower, rather than grandiflora.
Great looking plant.
