I was waiting... and waiting... for a different cactus to bloom! And today I saw this little flower opening up! The very first Mammillaria bloom :)
Mammillaria Glassii
The tiny, light pink buds are well hidden and protected between the furry spines, but there is few more to go. And I hope they will bloom more simultaneously so there is more than one open flower. For photo shooting purposes of course :P
See how cute the look? I have two of them potted together. One has lots and lots of tiny offshoots, the other one decided to grow flowers first. On the photo below you can see tiny, tiny fluffy balls farming at the base. Those new cacti babies :)
Please don't pay attention to the crappy pot. I got a bulk of them 'cause they were the right size and they just fall apart after few months on the sun :P. I am gonna have lots of repoting to do.
This is the one I thought will bloom first. It is another Mammillaria type, but I don't have a full ID for it.
Any day... any day now :)
