First cactus flower of the year

Post by el48tel »

Had a few succulents perform their duty during the winter but this is the first cactus flower of this year.
Parodia comarapana.
Has been able some years to repeat flower in the late summer / early autumn.

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. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.
