I love the pastel yellow colour flowers (Conophytum pageae)
Seems to be blooming only in the evening, I've heard some conophytum bloom at night to attract moths? First time this one has flowered. Was only a single head a year ago as well.
Night bloomers usually have less colorful and wispier flowers so they tend to be more aromatic to attract their pollinators. Day bloomers usually have little to no aroma but bright yellow, pink, or white flowers to attract their pollinators.

Thank you for the picture of the whole pot! Lots of sources take only the close ups and it makes it hard to know the scale. How old is this one?
