Spring showers bring May flowers—cactus blossom style!
The filing system is really easy - it’s all in one, icluding one terrified goldfish, a cactus (it’s always nice to have green plants in the workplace), louse notes, books and black paint right above Gil’s head.

Just an update, the bloom opened and it is gorgeous!

Look who’s blooming! This is a Gymnocalycium, native from the southern side of the South America. It’s new on the collection and really small but still gifts me with that bloom! The flowers seems to be white, the cacti itself stays a hue of purple/gray. It can’t accommodate more flowers so is producing 4 buds, a lot yet for it’s size, those are sure one of my favorite cacti.
When the bloom open up I’ll post more pictures.

Can’t stop buying new plants. Mammillaria plumosa and an unknown cactus respectively. Rain season is just starting here in Brazil, but I’ll manage them at my terrace so they’ll receive the best brightness I can provide as well as the best evaporation. Cacti usually are way more resistant than other succulents but somehow rainwater is always a blessing.
More updates on them soon!
Sorry for being offline for so long. Now I am back with a plenty more of succulents. I’m just finishing my new space and I have amazing new things to share. Got so many foliage now that my space is kinda divided like semi-arid by one side and a rainforest in the other haha.

The photo is a showcase of my flowering gymnocalycium state. So anxious for that bloom. It’s a newcomer and already is putting it’s flowers out, and the whole process so far took somewhat a month.
