First flowers!!

Post by ThePackrat »

One of my cacti finally bloomed! :D

I have a grafted gymno that is budding like mad, but they fall off before they get to flower :(

Lovely! One of my mammillarias should be flowering soon, and I already have a rhipsalis in flower.

Sometimes you have to wait a long time, but cactus flowers are definitely worth it!
Nothing smells as sweet as a frangipani flower...

I have one of those, I think it's had an open flower continuously since May, it must be one of the most floriferous cacti around - there will be many, many more!

Good job growing it from seed, I cheated and got mine when it was all grown up. :oops:

The Gymno might like less sun and more heat. Depends where you've got it now and how much water it's getting.
