Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

Not much new blooming lately except the first inflorescences of the year on my Fouquieria diguetii, which almost always waits to flower until the plant is completely bare otherwise. I kinda like that about Fouquieria!

Awesome Grusonias and Ocotillo! 
Not the most common things, but I think they're great.

What a difference a month makes!
The most recent inflorescenses on my Fouquieria burragei are now all white at anthesis and the rachi are much paler. Some just starting to develop will be completely devoid of any pinkish color on the buds with an all green rachis for our mid-summer before inflorescences later in the year switch back to being pinkish.
And another Cleisto in bloom today.

echinopsis flowers are beautiful, was this a night bloomer?
