Chance seedling
This is the flower of a seedling found in one of my pots in 2019. I carefully dug it and potted it up and yesterday it flowered for the first time. The body is only about 3 cm's across so the flower is bigger than the plant. I really like it.

Re: Chance seedling
It certainly makes the most striking photograph.
Not a fan of hybrids, but that is a gem. Hopefully the plant itself, if somewhat small at the moment, looks like it might make an attractive addition too.

Re: Chance seedling
That is beautiful Sylvia. I hope I can breed something close to that over the years of my hybridising! Do you know what the mum was?

Re: Chance seedling
Sorry no I don’t know. It was just in the pot separate from the plant.

What a lucky find.
What a lovely plant.
Well done.

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: Chance seedling
Sylvia,
that's really first class.
I think you should name it - and propagate it.
Maybe you can find a tissue culture lab to do it?
It was your lucky day...

Re: Chance seedling
Hi Ralph yes I am trying to decide on a name at the moment. Also I may propagate it myself I notice it has a couple of extremely small offsets coming. So will wait and see first.
