HI,
Argyroderma subalbum - 3.5 inch pot - all one plant - first time flowering
This has been out for about a week and this is the first time I have had a chance to takes its pic, too much rain mostly and finally we had sun yesterday, went down to the greenhouse and found that the camera was out of charge! So this afternoon it had to be and unfortunately the flowers were not wide open, perhaps they are beginning to fade.
It is a plant which I gathered from Terry Smale's collection in summer 2021, why didn't it flower last year, perhaps it was the plentiful sunshine we had this summer, perhaps it is the better light as three 60 foot conifers were felled between us and next door which had been cutting out the afternoon light. If it flowers again next year it may manage more than four flowers, although such small heads producing such relatinely large flowers must deplete its reserves.
