Nice! Is that another Titanopsis?

No Andy I have only the one. It just popped a few more flowers open yesterday. They didn't open all the way, do to cold winds and cloudy weather. But today it's warming and sunny. I think it likes it that way!!

Bill Glad to be of service!! :wink:

John i guess looking at mine in a sea of pots i tend to forget that cacti grow in among other plants, you garden is always a great reminder that they do, looking real good there with those wild flowers all in bloom

Opuntia basilaris framed by Layia glandulosa. Layia are native to the western states. They are spring annuals from dry summer areas. Some species will be yellow with white petal tips. L. glandulosa is the most widely distributed.
