Pediocactus bradyi var knowltonii

 

Okay so it's not currently in flower but it was so beautiful back in early April I thought you all might like to share it with me. Only eight flowers this year but it has produced another tiny head during the winter as it did last year.

The flowers stay open for about four days, longer if the weather is on the cool side.

Raised from seed obtained from a specialist cactus seed supplier in 1987.

Kept dry in winter at the lowest temperature naturally achievable - usually about 22 degrees F. ( minus 6 degrees C.)
