Fanfare Blooms!

    I've had this Peruvian cactus Matucana Madisoniorum for a long time.  It's a slow grower but a regular bloomer.  I like the almost smooth like texture with few spines and the fanfare trumpet shaped blooms!

An Explosion of Cactus Blooms!

 

Flying Saucer Cactus

This morning I woke up to see an explosion of blooms on my Flying Saucer Cactus!  Each bloom is over 8 inches in diameter and they are very fragrant.  Below is a picture from the day before, when it only had one bloom.

The Peruvian Matucana Madisoniorum Blooms!

I like watching the matucana madisoniorum bloom.  The cactus has a rough texture with unusual spines, and the blooms look like a cluster of fanfare trumpets!

Peruvian Cactus, matucana madisoniorum

 I like the rough texture of the matucana madisoniorum cactus and how the blooms appear to "shoot out" from the top.  I've had this cactus for a very long time, maybe 20 years?

A Peruvian Bloomer!

 I've had this Matucana madisoniorum cactus for years and it's a pretty good bloomer. I like the trumpet shape of the blooms.  The spines are unusual and not nearly as scary as other cactus.
