Marie - is that last picture you posted a night bloomer?

Ditto what Susie said.

Not exactly a night bloomer but it opens early morning and closes late morning from what I can tell. Pretty huh?

Here's a Echinopsis 'Flying Saucer' with a stray June flower. Most come along in May.

A pink gymno that has bloomed a lot this year. I like that cactus plant color too. It is a brownish purple.

Marie, I love the pink and white blooms. Is it on your porch in a pot? Could you post a picture of the plant so I could try to figure out what it is. Thanks.

Hi Alan, Glad yours is blooming so well. Do you water or feed it? Mine is in the sun all day so the flowers now are a little weird as you may see from the picture.

Most of mine are resting too or I miss the bloom because it closes so early in the day.
