Hi!! I've never hand pollinated cacti before, but my cluster of cacti arrived with a lot of flower buds on it and they've recently started blooming- The biggest one has four open blooms on it right now, and I think a fifth on the way, and one of the smaller ones has a flower that's juuust opening up, so here is where I'm uncertain.. Do I wait for the one that's just opening to open more first?? It should only be another day or so, but the big one with four blooms has had those flowers open for a few days so idk how long they will last..

Every plant in this cluster has bloom buds in different stages, I figure this will be a perfect experiment in pollinating them to get seeds, but any help with more experienced growers who've actually tried their hand with this would be a huge help.
