Turbinicarpus alonsoi
 
Since I don't have any chids to show off today, and this little guy opened up this morning, I thought you might enjoy something different. The plant is native to Mexico and a very slow grower. It stays very small; about an inch to 1 1/4". Normally it will show a nice head of flowers and with age I trust mine will also.

Very sharp (no pun)...the brilliant colors of cacti are so cool. Such a contrast for most of them, you know such a pointy and painful plant, yet delicate flowers.

Looks so delicate. Is it a one day bloom?
Anyway, it's beautiful Doc.
