The flower of my Mammillaria Voburnensis:
It's a cactus whose body is columnar and globose. It's not very tall. it grows to 20 cm in height. The adult plants are dark green in color and have many children around them, forming numerous and stacked groups.
This cactus is blooming for the first time. He has been with me for a long time and I have taken small children from this cactus and reproduced them, but he never gave me flowers, until now.
They have thorns of 1cm long all over their body, they are very sharp. I had never seen them present these very fine white villi at the level of their upper portion. Seeing this makes me think that she will soon develop flower buds.
There were radial spines, longer, white and brown towards the apical surface but never white villi like now.
After a few weeks the flower buds appear. What a great surprise! Finally, some flowers.
My mammillaria cacti have similar flowers. They are all yellow and of the same shape.
The planting, transplanting and flowering of cacti and succulents have a lot of influence on me. I am passionate about them. I have them since my teens. I have been able to have progress and failures in its maintenance. But neither of those things stop me Every time I get more species and I decide to learn about these plants as I go. and not by reading about them.
Sometimes your own experience of having and caring for them gives more information than that obtained by reading about them.
I invite beginners to cheer on their collection. They will only know what it feels like to have a cactus when they have it in their care.
You must be proud of how much it's starting to bud already UwU
