Ok...this is a family heirloom cactus...from my mothers twin sister Velma...out of the delta...I have grown it for decades myself...these were a group that were removed from the mother a few years ago...blooming together today...ok they have had the same conditions so it is understandable that they might bloom together..today...
Across town in the. Village. There is sitting on a window sill another sibling ....grown in as different a situation as possible..both summer and winter all were separated from the mother about 3-4 years ago..at different times and have been living apart ever since...
Is there a date stamp imbedded in the genes..how do they know/ remember that date
