Blooming sea urchin

My little sea urchin cactus (Astrophytum asterias) bloomed today!  First thing this morning, it looked like this

Astrophytum asterias almost blooming

Then at noon it was open!

It's so pretty.

I like the feathery edges on the petals and sepals.

And bonus- it's fragrant!  It smells sort of lemony, but sweet.
