More orange flowers?
Yes!
But they are all different you know :).
Aylostera Flavistyla FR756
This small cactus can also be found under the name Rebutia flavistyla. It can be natively found in Tarija region in Bolivia. Grows on rocky slopes getting a lot of sun!
It is a rather small cactus and I noticed it likes to hide itself in the substrate. Since it is living on my balcony in the most sunny spot I suppose that is it's way to protect itself from overheating and sunburn. A thick layer or very tiny spines also create a nice protective layer.
Last year I had two small plants growing in one pot and I got about 7 flowers opening almost simultaneously. This year they had to be split as they literally broke to pot with the roots. But for some reason one didn't bloom at all, the other one (the one on the photos) had two flowers only. I wonder if it is due to repotting stress, or they don't like the new soil mix...
I am still happy to see those 2 flowers. Such bright orange (yes - different that other orange flowers I have) and light center are so pretty! The flowers stay very close to the plant creating a cute parasol. They are about 4 cm in diameter which is about the size of a cactus now :p They last a few days and the party is over. I am not sure of one didn't get pollinated and there is a small fruit forming.. will have to watch it and maybe I will have some seeds :) Sowing cacti is always fun!

Wowww.... This looks very vibrant. The Orange and Green combo is always catch your eyes...never seen them.before but now it looks like to have one must at home
Oh yes.. the combo is great :) And the flowers are so bright, that you see them from a distance.
I like so much the shades of color of this flower of cactus. 🌵
Thank you! Me too :) It's so bright and happy.
I love this deep orange bloom.
I don't think I have ever had a cactus bloom. I haven't owned many inside, but when I lived in Texas, I bought one in a average sized pot, that grew and grew on my balcony. After several happy years, some sort of tiny white fly?.... made a colony on it and destroyed it. I didn't know they were there for the longest time.... well.... till too late.
Ohhh poor thing.
Yea, bugs love cacti! It is a constant battle for me too. Always something shows up that want to kill them.
Very nice!
I transplant cacti, even if they have buds.
And these buds are blooming.
I try to do it before they grow buds.
But when I get a new one I do it straight away.
Lovely orange petals looking like a Japanese lady in a kimono! So orderly and prim!
What a fancy comparison! :)
It just appeared in my mind!
