At least one of the buds ripened enough to bloom today 22May:

what a lovely sequence

oh what a beautiful flower.

beautiful flower and great photo sequence. thank you.

I was trying to see if it will open up just a little more..ah, but it ends that way and closes up for the night, then starts the sequence again the following day..

It is still windy but much warmer now, adjusted the container a bit to get more sun and the cacti opened up its bloom a little more today!



Getting a better close-up:

This is so nice bloom!

My first time as well to see it open more fully that way

I think this cacti is really relishing the weather warm up as we expect to hit 90's..still in bloom and its bloom has gone wider, a clearer view inside the bloom.

Congrats on the awsome bloom!

Thanks

Ah the flower show has ended! Till next year again!

It was a beautiful show, thank you for posting the pictures Tarev.
