More late buds
Posted by Stuart under: Cacti .
This Neoporteria (or Eriosyce if you support the New Cactus Lexicon‘s taxonomy), like my Blossfeldia liliputana ‘subterranea’ hasn’t quite adjusted its internal clock to allow for the fact that we’re now in the middle of winter.
It’s a plant of N. subgibbosa originally from Richard and Wendy Edginton and has produced plenty of really intense pink flowers this year; it seems to have enjoyed flowering so much that it’s not sure whether or not it ought to stop.
