Oh I love buds! Just not the wait for them to open. lol
I hope it gives you a grand show!! We'll be waiting for updates!
Do you know if it's fragrant?

Is it open yet??? lol...
Open.. Open..Open...lol.. sorry had to .. ;-)

Wow that's a big hairy bud YOU got there!

Here is mine, just took a photo this morning..

Okay... I want one!!! How hardy are these? Can one survive indoors in Iowa in a North or East facing window? That's all I got.

Chris, ever tried helping one open up? Its the same as helping a baby chic come out of an egg. Sure Death. Patience, patience, patience. And as ugly as it looks now you know its gunna be a beauty.

OH boy, SO preeeetty, Nik23! Guess, I WILL have to get up early to catch these flowers. 2 years and all I've seen of the my domino is the bud state of kaktuskris pic up top or the spent bloom. :[

Finally open when I looked at 6 this morning...

Christopher

Oh! I have a Pseudoechinopsis "Domino" currently budding. I hope it looks like that!

Beautiful!!
That is worth the wait for sure!

Another photo...

Another view...

Side view...

Seems huge compared to the size of plant. :-) will it be around a day or 2 or is it a one time thing. Gone tomorrow?

Christopher,

My friends and relatives wonder why all the fuss over a prickily little cactus/succulent......Enjoy!...Thanks for sharing!

Dan

That is just wonderful Chris....I always miss mine in flower..They flower in the morning before I head to work and die by the time I get back, unless one blooms on my day off..

Great job! By the way, I wrote you a few days back..Hope you got it.

Mike:-)

I don't know if these flowers last more than a day, actually. I will just have to wait till the morning to find out. But I took plenty of photos in case it is here today, gone tomorrow.

Christopher

Now I have my answer...found this today when I got home.

That IS worth the wait. Really nice big bloom! And worth getting up early to catch.

Good thing I took the photos when I did, for that beauty was fleeting.
