More flowers. Its raining today, surprisingly welcomed need to collect plenty of water. I have had to use tap water on the last two waterings. Another turbinicarpus seedling today and a l.williamsii has germinated and spreading its roots looking for water, they are quite amazing at this piont of growth.

I bought a smaller Thelocactus Bicolor from B&Q earlier this year.

I thought it will soon die being that I found it at B&Q. But blow me down it's survived and not only that, thrived.

Grown, and wait for it .

Flowered non stop, one flower at a time.

Frankly i'm blown away . .

Yeah thats why I always get young plants, more tolerant the mistakes and change like repotting.

Very nice

Had a large plant of this at Nash's Garden in the conservatory for years. It offsetted profusely

Still have one of the pups present, but most are in a small block in square pots in the Allotment Greenhouse.

Always a good plant .

I think that Ariocarpus is a hybrid - I have a few like that - of uncertain parentage, that I would be prepared to give away for postage only.

No its a fissuratus, I had it from a reputable supplier its just young looking due to slow UK growth. Its grown a new tubercle since that picture too.
