Comically large bud

Post by MHS »

Hybrid acquired from southfield nurseries, it's been budding for a good few weeks but I think it'll flower tonight.

Do share the picture of the flower when it appears
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.
