Oh, I'd love to see a picture of it first thing when it opens! I had to google Mark Bolan as I had never hear of him. Well, I guess we shall be seeing how my flower looks in a little while. I can hardly wait. Also, my T. Setispinus looks like it is going to be giving more flowers to me soon. I'm proud of it. It has put on a wonderful display thus far.

I was being random when putting up Thelocactus Mark Bolan sis . He was the singer from the band T Rex

R.I.P

.

Thelocactus Buekii is open now, just got some pics of it. And to cap it all off my own T. Bicolor ( smaller ) has another flower opening up as I type.

Will have o get the pics up ASAP

If you're wondering, T. bicolor ssp. bolaensis is actually named after Sierra Bola in Coahuila, Mexico where it occurs naturally. The suffix -ensis on the subspecific epithet denotes that the name is derived from a place name.

Yeah don't listen to me

Dan's the man , I was just having a laugh by adding something random.

As I normaly do.

Yeah, I've never heard of that band before now. I guess perhaps since I live in the U.S. and wasn't around. Interesting though, I'm always looking for new music to listen.

Wow, thanks for the interesting information Dan. Do you happen to know all of the other naming conventions like the -ensis one?
