Cactus flower? I win!
 
For sure! You're good and fast!
 
Naw.... that's a pygmy sundew! D. callistos, yeah, that's it!
 
Pleiospilos nelii
 
So I didn't win?...
 
Very nice indeed! I've wondered what this looks like when it blooms. I have two plain P. nelii and two Royal Flush cultivars (purple ones). Are you gonna try and cross it with anything? Being a Mesemb you could see what else it might pollinate. Try P. nelii x Lithops _____ or something and see what comes out of the seed. I'm gonna try weird crosses since I found out that's possible with cacti, like orchids there can be intergeneitic crosses within related families. Now I just need some flowers! Maybe next winter/spring I guess.
 
The only plants i have in flower now are pygmy drosera...so i don't think they will cross well with this P. nelli...can't even imagine how a hybrid would look like if you ever get it to germinate.
