Cacti that are looking good.

Lets see all those cacti that look good in flower or form.
A few of mine, looking a bit neglected these days, but they still flower.

Rebutia, one of the easy ones.



Another Rebutia,

And another Rebutia,


Mammillaria 's




Last one for now, Stenocereus.

 

remarkable display of flowers

 

Looks good Pete, I never realised they looked so nice my gram and mum had various types but they never flowered, they maybe an option for my greenhouse project .

 

My first spiky ones flowered today

 

what nice colours !

 

All looking great, Pete.

I hope some of mine flower this year - one did 2 years ago but didn't last year.

 

Just a couple of the Echinocereus, the plants are very old and need a repot, or perhaps new cuttings taken, they were grown from seed in the late 80s.



Problem that I have with taking pics is that by the time I get home from work the flowers are often closed again.

 

They often dont flower well if you are growing as house plants.
Most Desert cacti need a dry cool resting period in winter in order to flower well come spring.

 

Some years ago I cross pollinated a Chamaecereus with a Lobivia

 

I love all your cactus flowers. I have many.
Here's one of them flowering now. It's Rebutia minuscula ...

 

Pete, one of mine has buds (the one which flowered 2 years ago)



do you know what sort of cacti this is? thanks!

 

Two of mine today slight disappointment with the first flower, I've been having problems with aphids and I think some of the horticultural soap got in the bud and caused the stigma to rot and stick...

Epiphyllum 'Daisy Dean'



Epiphyllum 'Fantasy' / 'Fluffy Ruffles'

 

Doesn't have a name, but this pink epi has flowered like crazy this year.

 

Schlumbergera gaertnerii :-





Stenocactus hastatus :-

 

for me the best part of cacti flowers has to be the translucent petals
