Copiapoa tennuisima

This is one of the smaller growing copiapoas which flowers readily and regularly creates monstrose plants. Purple bodied beauties.

Late season flowers: Copiapoa tenuissima

As can be seen in this photo, with all the old dead flowers clearly visible, this is one plant that just doesn't know when to quit. Copiapoa tenuissima isn't one of the rarer of Copiapoas, usually seen in its monstrous form, but it's easy to grow and flowers without asking.

One of the several Copiapoa tenuissima crests or monstrose plants we have in our collection, this one was flowering yesterday, so I'm sharing it with you. These are relatively easy to grow and bloom with regularity in our greenhouse.
