These fleeting florae are always a pleasure for the eyes!!!
Regardless of the species, I have yet to see these brilliantly coloured beauties stay more than a few days at the most! I am interested in input as to the relevant variables which may induce flowering cycles!!

Re: Flowering season for outdoor NM cacti
From what I can tell, most outdoor desert cacti flower sometime in the spring. I would imagine that the combination of warmer temperatures and perhaps a bit more moisture than usual triggers blooming, though that's just a guess on my part.
