First time seeing a flower bloom on my baby toes! Actually when I received the plant a few months back, I wasn’t able to find much instructions about its care, so I took things into my own hands and watered as I pleased. I must be doing something right, because it has flowered for me!
Technically, I didn’t SEE it bloom, because it bloomed while I was away in Europe. The photos below were taken by my sister using her handphone camera. If I was around to see it bloom, I would have taken a gazillion pictures! *lol* But it’s ok, I am sure it will bloom again soon. :)
It bloomed for a few days and closes up at night. This is the flower at night.
Sis finally managed to see the flower during the daytime over the weekend and took these photos for me. Probably wasn’t the peak of the bloom by then, but it is still really pretty right? :)

Hi again. I’m growing (more like trying not to kill) some frithia and fenestraria seedlings right now, just wondering if you provide cool nights for your frithia? How is it and your other mesembs doing these days, anyway? Looking forward to an update ! :)

Hello! As suggested on some other forums, i try to provide cool nights for my succulents by placing them in an airtight box and in the fridge for half an hour at night whenever i have the time. Sorry I’ve been busy travelling, and only just got back this week. Will post more updates about my plants soon! Some of them died while i was away though… :(
