Nice plants Jen, especially Turbinicarpus Pseudopectinatus....mine has not bloomed yet
How long does the flower last?
Regards,
Hendry

Thanks Hendry, the flowers on T. pseudopectinatus usually last only 2 to maximum 3 days. But they flower pretty reliably every springtime (at least here in old Europe) once they got going.
Some other former Pelecyphora

Flowers last a bit longer for me. It helps that they flower when it is still cool in spring.

Flowering time here usually is a little later in spring than in other places in Central Europe, mainly because the sea still keeps the wearther coooler in spring and I stick with the bubble wrap inside the GH for quite along time . And so the Turbinicarpus bring out the flowers when the sun is higher too.

Here are some summer flowers of the last days:

It was quite hot these days and two Thelocephala flowers popped up - was it because of or inspite of the heat-I don´t know. But flowers usually last a little shorter in the heat.
