We report on the follow up observations after the report of ~10 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO -- ATel #3225) in the X-ray light curve of the ongoing outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 (ATel #3144, #3159, #3167, #3203) RXTE/PCA observations performed on March 19th and March 22nd, 2011, show a continuous progression of flare-like events which occur very regularly in a quasi-periodic manner at a rate between 25 and 30 mHz.
