It just gets better and I reckon the flowers are even bigger!

Re: Mammillaria guelzowiana
I hope so Maria - there's nothing worse than having them open while you're at work. I'm in favour of a five day weekend and a two day working week myself but I can't see it happening somehow!

Re: Mammillaria guelzowiana
I have a couple, one named f. robustior seems to have bigger flowers than the other, though the plant isn't that much bigger - yet - at least. But it has to be amongst my list of top Mamms.

Re: Mammillaria guelzowiana
Lady Luck was with me and with the bit of sunshine we had Sunday, the flower finally opened!! Even after seeing the pics on here, seeing it 'in the flesh' still blew me away!!! The flower was HUGE!

Re: Mammillaria guelzowiana
Fantastic Maria! Did you notice that your central spines are darker than mine? Must be a different clone.

Re: Mammillaria guelzowiana
Actually Phil, it made me wonder if it was the same plant at all (before the flower opened!!)

Re: Mammillaria guelzowiana
Great flowers guys...
Not too sure how valid it is, but I have seen seed sellers offer a variety called "aurispina", which is supposed to be the lighter spined variety I think...

Maria's plant looks like Stephen Brack's collection of guelzowiana, SB465
