That .... was ..... worthwhile ....
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

I'm guessing the plant is only a couple of cm across? Mine have produced flowers when ridiculously small.

Hi Phil,
The plant is 3.5cm wide and about the same high!
