mid-winter flowers

Post by jp29 »

Signs of the coming Spring are evident now here in southern Arizona. The current run of warm, sunshiny days are producing an abundance of flowers on many of my Arrojadoa and Coloeocephalocereus complex cacti:

Those are so pretty, so vibrant too. I'm envious of your weather as I'm in a snowy, below freezing climate and trying hard to keep my little plants as warm as I can until spring hits here.

Beautiful all - but, especially love that Coleocephalocereus purpureus!
My C. aureus is doing well, but has yet to flower this year - hoping to see something like yours happen soon! :D

James, very nice display, and I'm glad you are seeing signs of spring. That means it won't be long before it hit here too. I hope all is well with you.

Good morning James,

thank you for the wonderful flowers!
The flowers of Coleocephalocereus aureus are stunning! (I love green flowers)

Only the best!
