September Cactus Blooms!

 This is one of my favorite cactus and I have had it for a long time, at least 15 years and possibly many more.  It bloomed again a few days ago.  I think this is the third time it has bloomed this year and it is every bit electrifying in person.

Rebutia Cactus

The Flying Saucer Cactus bloomed earlier in September, It normally blooms in May and early June.

This gives you an idea of the size of this flying cactus bloom.

The next day it was 105° and the bloom didn't like the heat!  I didn't  like the heat either!

  1. Amazing! Well done. Do they thrive on neglect?

    1. I wouldn't call it neglect as they do require the appropriate amount of water.
