Mystery Aizoid

Post by Shmuel »

I have had this a while. I would have thought a Pleiospilos, leaves look a bit like P peersii but the flowers are so different.... I think. It has bloomed for several years and the petals are always these stringy things. Photo was taken mid-August. Any ID suggestions are gratefully accepted. Thanks.

Pleiospilos compactus ?
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
