Parodia graessneri [green]

Post by Prospector »

As we don't have a really long enough summer here, more clouds than sunshine.
It took a while but my Parodia graessneri [green] finally popped.
Yes I know it's Oct 12th but the cactus doesn't know that.

Yep, I really like the green-flowered form of this plant too. It almost looks like a digital color trick!

Absolutely one of my favorites. Mine blooms in EARLY spring. Tony, I guess you plant was N haselbergi, very similar in appearance, but with red flowers.

My buds are green, and the flowers are green but they change to yellow as they age!!
This is mine in flower now...

Your plant is either late, or it's getting a head start on the others for next spring! :wink:

The super green flowers, like sour apple candies (or, I guess, like green apples only darker) are great on some forms of this one.

Wow! Very cool looking flowers. I call mine Brasilocactus, which is maybe why it never bloomed. Perhaps if I whisper Parodia, it will respond.
:)
Does this seem the same?

Do you think I should separate them?
