Went into the greenhouse this morning and smelled something very nice. I know this smell; the same as when my Echinopsis spachiana is in bloom. My Echinopsis oxygona hybrid is in bloom. Also know as an Easter Lily Cactus. Nice timing. :lol:

Those oxygona flowers are really something! Wish the smell could come through my laptop!

The fourth one out of four. It's been 3 or 4 years since the last one bloomed.
I will follow its growth.
