Avonia quinaria

...or is it anacampseros?

I've had this a couple of years with no flowers and I've been impatiently waiting for this flower to open for the last week or two. I happened to catch it yesterday afternoon before it closed.

Lovely with or without flowers.

I had this today, still open at 7pm

but this must be the biggest anti-climax of the week

Wow, that is some plant! I’m very jealous.

Nicely grown and arranged, Mike.

Ian, Yours looks like a well grown little plant too.

Thank you Ralph.

Thanks Ralph, means a lot.

Obviously these are incredibly slow growing, but will this continue to grow planted the way it is currently? A lot of caudiciforms I grow are largely buried to maximise growth of the caudex so slightly worried this will just stay the same size if I keep it like this.

It'll grow.
