Turbinocarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. schwarzii crest

This compact little crested and monstrose plant is Tubinocarpus schmiedickeanus ssp schwarzii. That's a mouthful! Another of those plants grafted by Lazlo many years ago. (Update, December 19: As has been pointed out, first by Lynn-Marie and then by a reader, this is a Copiapoa crest, likely Copiapoa tennuissima. My apologies for the error.)

Tomorrow, back by popular demand, a lithops or two...

Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. schwarzii crest

These crests are great performers. The flowers come all at once each year for quite a display. We have several of these and they're all flowering right now.

And a close-up of the flower reveals even more beauty.

Enjoy your plants!
