E. triglochidiatus: From bud to flower

Post by **CoronaCactus** » Sun May 09, 2010 6:05 am

I got lucky and caught this Echinocereus triglochidiatus in it's ealiest stages of budding out. So i thought it would make for an interesting post to photograph its progress from bud to flower.

Enjoy!

That's a beautiful flower!
Isn't it fun to see the process of a maturing bud?

Darryl,
nice photos.

That sure looks painful when the epidermis is split for the buds to come out.

Astonishing. If plants have nervs, guess this could be painful process for them.
