had DaveW written and added real great pictures. July & August are already gone, we're nearing the middle of September. Some of us are starting to think about moving their cacti in (or out, depending on the hemisphere).As nobody seems to be coming up with a new genus for April, (...)
So I propose: What about Astrophytum myriostigma nudum? One of these won't stop flowering at ours.
The flowers open for two days; this is day one. On day one, they open yellow and silky. In contrast e.g. to Astro. capricorne or Astro. asterias, the inner part of the flower is not red. On day two, the flower has got a rose tinge and often a tousled look. This is the pair of buds from above, one or two days before opening. This is day one near the evening. On the first evening, they close nearly. By now, the outside has developed a rose tinge. This is day two of the pair. When the 2nd day is too cold or too rainy, they postpone flowering until the next day.
