Beautiful addition; grown from seed

I ordered 2 Copiapoa hypogaea ssp. Lizard Skin. Both of them arrived quickly, well packed & very healthy. In fact by the 3rd week after transplanting (transplanted upon reception) they began to bloom. Will try to post a photo. Blooms were mostly yellow but there was a bit of pink on the outers petals. Very healthy, pest free, seed grown & worth the money.
