| Below is a HDR rendered photograph of my Blossfeldia Lilputiana that has just started flowering. This was my first attempt at HDR that was inspired by Plantsoma over at SAB. I think it worked out ok considering the weather. It started raining on the lens. | |

| This was grafted about 8 months ago and was a big offset to begin with from another much larger plant. Once it finishes flowering It will go nuts with offsets I was very lucky to get it...took some persuasion. | |

| Get grafting HN, looks like you found a niche market with some big bucks involved.
Awesome pic and awesome graft BTW, love to see it after this growing season, looks to be a brutal summer, the cacti should be in heaven is what I'm thinkin' | |

| Yeah I plan on grafting a few offsets towards the end of the growing season. It is surprisingly growing quite fast, I figured it would be real slow even when grafted like aztekium is. | |
