My Aztekium ritterii is in bloom, I don't think I've seen pics of it's flower before so here's one I took myself!
This is actually the smaller of my two grafted clones which is blooming. I think this one is about 1.5", the bloom is probably 1/4" across. There are some new offsets forming as well as a second flower bud. The buds are pink so I was expecting a much prettier flower! lol!
Anyone know if you can "short stock" these when you graft the offsets so the stock is hidden in the gravel layer? I just hate the look of grafts but everyone was right, I could not get the offsets to root on their own roots, all I grew was fungus.
Here's my larger offset covered clone almost 2" in diameter.
