Ity bities 😊 time and TLC they will be lovely

May 18, 2019, 8-week old seedlings, starting to look like Bishop's Caps.

That they do!

3/28/2019, 4-day old seedlings

Still flowering and making seeds like there's no tomorrow!

Four small, 1 to 3-inch Bishop's Caps growing in a pot at the base of a Texas Olive tree.

@sushiwaitress, you can see spent flowers in the back that haven't released their seeds yet.

Got tons of seeds off my Bishop's Cap this year. Going to try germinating in a couple of months. It'll be my first time germinating cactus seeds.

Those seed pods look like hamsters! Do you have any more photos of what they looked like on the plant?

@sushiwaitress hahaha, they do look kind of creepy. There are some still on the plants. I'll take another photo tomorrow.

First spring flowers opened today.

I'm not familiar with this succulent. How many years of growth to get that tall ?

@sherrisgarden, this one is about 10 years old.

Wow !! That's a long time...
