A lot of red in these flowers! Mine are more cream-coloured.

yes Wiebe is correct. All the solisioides that i have seen are cream-coloured. What do you think about?

Interesting flower colour - either natural variation, or some mixed parentage? Do you know the source of the seed?

What's more striking to me is the time of the year. M. solisioides flowers in the autumn here in Portugal.

I have M. solisioides in flower right now as well so time of the year is not that strange.

I bought the plant from herr Plapp in 2007. I think the plant can be 10/11 years old. This is the first flowering because buds had never finished flowering in last 4 years...
buds and spines....

I wonder where Herr Plapp obtained his seed. It is surprising that this flower colour hands not Ben reported before, so it is either a sport, or an hybrid, but vast it looks like the species in body and spines, I'm inclined to think it is a sport.

Mam. solisioides VM 490 - Santa Maria del Ayu, Oax. (Santa Maria del Eye, Pue.)
Does anybody know where the location Santa Maria del Eye is in Puebla? I couldn't find it on the map.

Sorry, I can't find it either. I know it inhabits the area around Chila, Puebla, but I can't see any place aroud that starts with Santa Maria, even without del Eye.

Hey Chris,
thank you for looking it up. I was researching aswell and I think I found the location, north east of Zapotitlan de las Palmas is a place called Santa Maria del Ayu. Milan Zachar collected under his field number MZ 1314 a Mam. solisoides from Santa Maria del Aye, Pue., but there was probably another mistake cause this location is in Oaxaca.
So I think the correct location would be Santa Maria del Ayu, Oax. 17.93382,-97.79927

From Google Earth, Chila is all of 6kns from Santa Maria de Ayu, just the other side of the border. So I think you have definitely solved it.

Well, Santa María Ayú is less than 1 km from the border and the road from Zapotitlán to Ayú passes through Puebla, so it could well be that the plant's location is in Puebla, although the nearest village is in Oaxaca. My M solisioides had a flower a few days ago and there are 3 more, steadily growing buds (and as a sidenote, I am having several hernandeziis in flower at the moment, because I was able to postpone the fall flowering).

Today, two flowers on my M. solisioides were fully open. In between, there is a flower residue and at the back of the plant there is an additional bud developing.
