FLOWERING AUGUST 2014

I have taken these photographs in August in the first week.

Flowering lasted around one week and the flowers opened in late morning and were closing in late afternoon. The scent of the flowers was sweet and delicate.

My AZTEKIUM RITTERI started flowering this weekend in mid August. The scent of its flowers is very similar to Yasmin or Jasmin. You only have to place your nose very very near these fragrant flowers to scent it.

The substrate for this specimen is the same as for my other cacti plus limestone. As you can see I covered the surface with limestone.

The culture is the same as for my other cacti. AZTEKIUM only gets some less water as my "normal" cacti.
