I'm glad there's new growth on your Opuntias.

Allegedly it's a pink triglochidiatus. I'm wondering if maybe it's just a hybrid though

Lovely! I have some buds but no new flowers yet. I hope I can catch up with you!
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

I am playing the watch and wait game with my opuntias as they are all budding and some are set to flower any day now, it seems to be going really slowly!

Well Im growing X roetteri from seed, so when mine bloom, in like 10 years, maybe we can match it up.

MAtt, all of mine either have no growth on them or buds. I am waiting for the buds to grow and open up into flowers!

I'd say X roetteri too. The flowers are so colorful -they look like CGI or something.
