Dawn
This is another of my succulents in bloom. This is my Huernia Zebrina which is starting to bloom. It is also called the doughnut flower.
This is a stunning flower that enjoys rave reviews from my friends. It stays on the plants for weeks. This year however, the plant had a scaly infestation which went unnoticed and took a toll on the health of the plant and they are barely blooming. The rugged stems become a great camouflage for the Scaly insects, you’ve got to be really vigilant to notice it.
Thankfully I was able to save them in time and happy to see them bloom. This is an easy succulent to grow , but the stems are pretty fragile, strong winds or other plants brushing against them could break their stems. It could be a blessing in disguise as these could be planted as new plants altogether.

It is gorgeous! How many cacti do you have?🤔
Maybe in the range of 60- 70 must take stock sometime.
Wow, this one looks amazing! It does resemble a donut indeed.
Glad you see the chocolatey doughnut there 😀
It’s a stunning flower. I see it for the first time. You really have beautiful cacti.
I have one more to showcase , I am waiting for it to bloom. I hope it does this year. 😀
Love how it seems to be smiling. Beautiful bloom.
Glad you see the smile, you are the only one who can see it , have a great day.
ok this one looks like a starfish with a huge mouth. The starfish that ate America. scary movie title I will have to copyright it to sell to Hollywood!
LOL I like the idea, but not as much as a doughnut served on a star shaped plate.
i don’t see the doughnut, but i am limited as I already had breakfast
Your views depend on the state of your stomach I guess. Doughnuts are always welcome in my view.
Doughnuts are always good.
But we have to prepare for planet-eating starfish now!
That does sound terrifying. I hope you didn’t tell your children such scary stories as they were growing up. 😀
The circular red shape in the middle looks like a candy or donut. I like cacti.
It does look like doughnut but rather small. I hope you could see the smiley face inside. 🙂
