On the last Sunday in each month, Armidale's mall is turned into a market-place with lots of stalls. One of favourite places to visit is the cactus man from whom I've purchase dozens of different specimens, most of which survive in my office at UNE. At the end of October I bought a Gymnocalycium Mihanovchii (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnocalycium_mihanovichii) because it had little flower buds on it.
Nothing much happened for a while, but suddenly the buds enlarged and slowly took the form of flowers. Using a version of time-lapse photography, I took five images on successive days as shown here. It really is a pretty cactus and one that I'll re-pot from its cramped bowl shortly after flowering ceases. All the photos were taken on our kitchen bench so that I have a neutral background of white tiles.
