@deflowerer537 so from left to right we have: a seedpod forming, a ripe seedpod split with seeds showing, another pod forming, a tiny new flower bud, a flower bud close to opening.

I've read these are self fertile, so I'm going to save some pollen for the second flower #cactus #cactusflower

@deflowerer537 yes, I have had heaps from it(I haven't tried to grow them yet so I don't know if they are viable), because they are self fertile I just left it to do it and it formed fat little fruit, and after about a month and a half it split so I harvest them then.

So after the flower dies you just leave it there and it grows the fruit? I appreciate your help. Mine just got done flowering

@deflowerer537 Yeah, part of the flower stem will swell up, I'll take a pic by the end of the week (out of town atm)
