Beauty, Alain. I love Frailea. Lost my castanea to mealies, but found a potful of cataphracta. Yours looks very natural there.

Thanks Dinie, that one was so redish/purpleish all summer!, lost it a little to more brownish as it was blooming. They are pretty hard to find, have been on the look out for F phaeodisca for some time now :(

The Mamillaria with the crown of thorns I can picture with two small eyes that resembles a queen. Lol. I love them all

One more

This is a hybrid. Pachyveria maybe... Flowers are too open for an echeveria........

Ariocarpus bravoanus - Arios are always the last of my guys to flower.

The yellow Lithops flower has been opening every day since Oct. 9, and today its white friend joined the party.

Great going on the Lithops.

Yellow Senecio flowers. The world's second most boring flowers. Could someone ID this for me (again)? It looks like a succulent weed to me. I got it as a cutting.

Senecio kleiniiformis?

Thanks Rina. Photos look exactly the same as mine. Mine's rather misshapen because of both new and old growth on it.

A noid and Mam. pringlii

2nd time this year.

We had a light dusting of snow over night and was gone by 10 am

We must have some really good micro-climates on the property.

Jumping the gun - C. o. 'Lemon and Lime' (Akai jade?) is going to bloom:

Some Astrophytums blooming today.

A. capricorne - love the red throat on this.

A. ornatum

A. myriostigma var. nudum - no flecks on the skin. This is the largest cactus I have grown from seed.

And an Ariocarpus retusus variety

Stapelia hirsuta-click to see the fuzziness on this one.

I don’t want to go wild on stapeliads (going wild on too much else), but that one is still on the want list!!!

Beautiful, Laura - maybe I should grow some Stapelias

Any of you got any photos of euphorbia obesa flower buds(early stage) ?Think mine has those......

Not sure if this is early enough?

Mine are at the size of the right one....How old/big does one need to be to bloom(mine is about 4 cm wide/less than 2 inches)...

Too bad there arent any other partners for mine.....

From the South hemisphere, Echeveria Pallida, Crassula Multicava, and Kalanchoe Marmorata.

had 5 flowers in aug.-2 more this week

Ariocarpus trigonus

A. fissuratus

Cheerful Faucaria.

Not fully open yet

Hi all!

A Faucaria with many more blooms to come

Nice to the the Lithops here - all of mine got destroyed in a freak hailstorm a few years ago, and I have not replaced them ... yet.

This epiphyllum decided to bloom again in October for me:

although it blooms more prolifically in April/May. This one (or another near it) also has a bud that I expect to open this week.
Beaucarnea recurvata in my neighbors' yard, with my house in the back ground. I have a couple of these plants, but none of mine have bloomed, but all of the neighbors' seem to be blooming. Maybe I should take mine out of pots and plant them in the ground. I kind of like them in pots, however.

Bloom'n fools Adromischus-

Adromischus marianae f. herrei

Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii

Adromischus marianae 'Little Spheroids'

Oksana

Is that jade ready to bloom? I think I see some buds. You do not have snow yet?

Another 'Topsy Turvy':

Not sure of correct ID:

Rob, amazing adromischus!

Lars, that's the first time I've seen a photo of Beaucarnea recurvata blooming. Thanks for showing that. :-)

Rob, love those Adromischus! I've never seen them in flower. I have 'Little Spheroid' but the leaves on mine don't look as round and plump as yours. I'm still trying to figure out their care.

This lovely of mine is in bloom most of the time & never gets old. I like its leaf variegation of light green / dark green & love its coral color. Takes loads of water & grows fast.

I'll probably have to cut it back in the Spring again. I can't get enough of this plant.

Ariocarpus agavoides

A. fissuratus

Last cactus bloom of the season (epiphytes excluded): Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus albiflorus. I put it inside under lights to get the bud to open. After that it goes to its cool winter room.

Mammillaria hernandezii, had 1 flower early spring, a full ring around this time although not perfectly synchronized :(

Pilosocereus azureus, closed most of the time but was lucky to catch this one opened

Echeveria affinis

Lithops

Beautiful compact Mammillaria, Alain! I am getting more and more interested in this group of mamms with big roots and large flowers.

Arios, Mamms, and Bulbs..Oh My!

Ario. trigonus.

Ario. kotschoubeyanus v. elephantidens.

Mamm. pringlii.

Haemanthus sp. (not albiflos I think).

Noid.

Aloe ukambensis.

Euphorbia anoplia.

Monanthes polyphylla. Incredibly cute little plant, I love it, but in the Most Boring Flower Contest, it blows the competition out of its pots. Size of the bloom is 1/8”.

dinie, that's right up there with Senecio serpens.

Nah, Peperomia beats that. Here's P. prostrata ...

.... and this is one of the more colorful ones.

I actually find that one pretty cute, Dinie, plant and flower! Would also vote for Peperomia having the most boring flowers, though I love the plant. Actually trying to collect some seeds, quite a challenge!! No idea what I am doing :(

I don't know if I'd even recognize those as flowers on the Peperomia if I didn't know any better.

I asked it. It is not willing to share the prize with the Senecio. After the Peperomia I got a sullen silence, so I guess it has to yield to that ;-).

In truth, Alain, I think the flower is very nice. Even more so when the whole plant is in bloom: the cutest little parasols all over it.

Aloebot , you have the most interesting plants at times. Everyone I like and want. Lol.

Everryone else, very nice ! Enablers

Here is one I got from a very kind member here almost a year ago ! Smells like crap but I love the way it hangs and opens )

Just a couple more today

Mike, Your Asclepiads look great. Much better than I can grow them. I had that first one you showed. Called Orbea variegata. Had it for 5 years. Never bloomed for me. There are different shades of this one and yours looks rare.

Rina

Hi! Yes, we have 2 weeks winter already. My Jade 'Blue Hale' is about to bloom

Oksana

We had some snow too, but it doesn't last - yet. Lots of rain, that turns into snow at times.

I hope you'll post photos of your jade in bloom...Maybe even just buds?
