This was a nice surprise from a newish plant. When it fully opened, I grabbed a swab and kindly poked around for some seeds. Nothing rubbed off, which is fine.

But guess what? She closed up, and that flower hasn’t fully opened since. Sorry, friend haha.

ps SLC went from 90 to 70 overnight a few weeks ago. The Copiapoa cage is currently empty. See you next year.
