I thought I would post a pic of my C. cinerea, currently in bloom. According to Pilbeam it is unusual to have one of these flower in captivity, so I am quite excited.   Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.

C. tenuissima is a small species, just 3 to 5 cm across, but flowers freely at a young age. (According to Cacti for the Connoisseur - J. Pilbeam) Life is a shit sandwich - the more bread you got, the less shit you eat.

Wow that is a beautiful cactus sir, and that Ariocarpus is just outstanding and huge lol "we are not human being's having spiritual experiences, we are spiritual being's having human experience's." (Teilhard de Chardin (1975?)

This one is a monstrose (mutated) form of it so it pups from every areole. I'm not sure this can flower easily since most monstrose clones that have heavy pupping do not flower often. It would be pretty awesome if it did flower though. 3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF!!!!FFO TSALB ...1 ...2 ...3 My grafting guide
