O.Smithwick first time to flower for me
Another first time flower:
The one I mentioned at the start that didn't look happy at the time looks much better now, I think I had one or perhaps two flowers on it last year 20 this year:
And of course humifusa is still blooming:
That may be it fo me this year for flowers (variety), unless something surprises me.

Who knows? I have an O. humifusa that is blooming again, would be nice if you got some "reblooms" too.

Nice! I'm still waiting on mine, complete root loss in 2009 didn't help matters.

The names are driving me nuts!!; but the flowers look great. The O."Smithwick" is obviously an O. fragilis hybrid. I'm guessing that "Smithwick"is a horticultual name applied by some grower. Do you know the origin of the plant??

I never know what quite a few of them are, have to go by whatever someone else names them.
swiped form elsewhere: 'Opuntia cymochila x fragilis ‘Smithwick’ Named after Claude Barr’s home town.'

Thanks; that makes sense, a Claude Barr O. fragilis hybrid.
Looks great !!
