Growing succulents from seeds
Look, might as well celebrate the small wins here. My Mammillaria elongata “copper king” bloomed a single sad flower and it couldn’t even properly fit between the spines, but this is his first ever flower and I’m still proud.
It’s been a bit more than two months since the first flower buds appeared on my Mammillaria spinosissima “un pico” and the first flower opened today on a sunny afternoon!
Unfortunately I couldn’t get close enough to have a sniff of the flower. The spines have gotten very long and stiff since the plant was smaller.
Four flowers! They have such a strong sweet scent.
Yet another Astrophytum ornatum flower ?
This guy has been flowering all spring and summer and there’s even more on the way!
My Notocactus has adapted its flowering cycle to my work schedule and only flowers on saturdays and sundays when I’m home to see them. IDK, it’s really weird. I bought it 1.5 years ago and it has flowered 5 times since then, but only during weekends.
I like this guy.
My beautiful Gymnocalycium mihanovichii v. friedrichii started flowering and the Notocactus ottonis very quickly followed its example.
It’s nice to know that the Danish summer hasn’t been too awful for them to thrive.
This year’s first cactus flower just opened! ?
I’m glad I didn’t miss it after all.
