Nice flower Al. I think I've got a juvenile but won't know for sure for a few years. How large do they have to be to bloom? I've seen photos of relatively small ones in bloom.

Amy, I grew the entire collection of Feros from seed a long time ago. I cannot remember how old this one was when it produced the first flower. It flowers early in the springtime as well.

Al

Very nice,looks very tame for a Fero too!

Nice plant there Al, I have only a small one of these, I can't wait for it to mature and flower for me, your pic is a welcome taste of what is to come.

Great shot of the cactus and flower! The new camera is serving you well!!

Larry, it's not one of the more vicious ones.

CP, probably the final Fero bloom this year. My plants stayed small until they started summering outside, then- wow.

Bill, Too many whistles and bells on the toy. I still have too much to learn.

Al

Wow, aren't you the lucky one. How pretty.
