The return of a white Gumnocalycium
I did not have many blooms from my cacti this year. Overtime, I lost some that bloomed every year. Some suffer a bit. Others have maybe one flower here and there. I do enjoy every single one of them, but it's nothing spectacular this year.
But this one I will show!
This Gymnocalycium is one of the newest acquisitions. I bought it last fall (with two others that also decided to bloom this year), repotted it, and left it on a windowsill to adapt. I didn't want to leave it outside straight away. I am still not sure if keeping him inside instead of the open balcony over winter did this, or if it was still the nursery treatment, but the amount of flowers is just amazing!
Besides the 4 blooms and 2 still smaller buds, there are a few more still very tiny that will (I hope) open much later.

A few years ago I had Gumno with white flowers like this. But one year it got too much rain, and it rotted like a champ!
I thought this one would be pink, but I am glad I got the white one back.
The underside of the petals have this warm, dark beige stripes. The top is almost pure white, but as the flowers get older, they get pinkier.

I took those photos over a week ago and after that I tried to pollinate the open flowers. Today I picked up the two flowers that opened first all dried up. No fruit. The pollination didn't work. I guess I need two different ones to cross them. Pity.
But a good thing is that the flowers last over a week, which is quite unusual for a cactus. Most last just a couple of days, some just one night.
And boy did it grow! It almost doesn't fit the pot that had a lot of room just a few months ago. I bought it in one of those small, round 5 cm pots. I moved it to the larger, black ones, and I could still squeeze a finger between the plant and the edge of the pot. It is almost touching it now!
Like a little rose :)

Yay! Congratulations! I find that Gymnos dislike too much sun (and cold and rain)
Thanks :)
Yea they do. I try to keep them shaded as much as I can and they get some morning sun only, but I am tempted to move them all inside. Safer for the winter too.
Do it if you can! I move quite a few plants inside
Need to make some room... right now all the space is taken by pots seeds germinating. I dunno why I did that again 🤣
🎉🎉🥳 Congratulations 🥳🎊🎊

Omg it really does look like a tiny rose! I actually thought it was a flower from a florist at first glance. 😍 Cactus blooms always surprise me like that!
They can be quite spectacular indeed. And all that from a body full of spines :D

Hi, how nice to see you here... what a joy when those little monsters bloom! :)
I am here... just didn't post :)
You have no idea. It is a pity vast majority bloom only once a year and for a very short time only.
It's a shame you didn't see as many flowers as you'd hoped this year, also that you lost the white-flowered gumno, and that pollination didn't work.
Beautiful flowers, I love them @ewkaw
We cant have everything I guess :)
Thank you!

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

Such a beauty the Gymnocalycium is! Even if the overall bloom season wasn’t spectacular, this one makes up for it. The pure white petals with the subtle dark beige underside sound so delicate and elegant, and your photos do it justice! All I could do was stay amazed and keep saying WOW. Hope you get even more blooms in the seasons ahead! 🌵🤍
Thank you! I absolutely love those flowers. :D
Well it seems like it is rather pleased with your treatment and is rewarding your efforts.
I hope it will be equally pleased next year too :D
Love the light work!
