You wait over 40 years for one Leuchtenbergia principis to flower, and another one arrives just a few weeks later.
This was sown 2018, from the forum seed pool. It has enjoyed plenty of warmth, sun, water and fertiliser recently - although the current extreme heat is a bit of a challenge, I've lost a few buds that were coming along on this and other plants.
