Spring arrived way too early. Today, sunny, highs 85+ degrees. The plants are flowering faster and earlier than what I'm ready for. The greenhouse reached 120 degrees one day before I was able to put the shade cloth up. Like I said, way too early. The weeds are overtaking the outside gardens and I cannot plant the vegetables in fast enough. I was able to get a few pics of some of the ones that haven't flowered for me. :D

Looking good! Too bad we can't moderate the temperatures all over the country. Apparently, you've had a jump from winter right into summer, while we've had constant winter since November with no real spring warmup in sight.

That thelocactus is very nice.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

Those are some of the largest A. flagelliformis flowers I've seen. I've tried several times to grow this cactus, but it always becomes infected with mealybug. New plants are hard to get as no one around here seems to carry this particular species.

Nice flowers. The Opuntia is not O. santa-rita but may be O. basilaris or a basilaris hybrid. It is obviously very "happy". Does it have cream or white stigma lobes??
