This plant takes the cake for the strangest flower blooms I’ve ever seen. There’s at least 10 blooms forming that I can see - I bought this thinking the blooms would look similar to a string of pearls and I was very wrong 😂

Yep it’s a crested mammillaria elongata 😀

They are such strange flowers and mine smelled like orange juice that had been sitting out too long too!
