This is one of the most floriferous cacti around, and most active during late fall and early winter.

Maybe some of the prettiest cactus blooms I've ever seen. Of course, not a surprise at all to have them come from your succulent/cactus garden. Superb banner!

Only time will tell.....
It takes a lot to impress an old fart like me. I don't like cacti (long story from childhood) and never been a pink flower type of guy, but WOW! Drooling Drooling Drooling
I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Thanks for sharing your passion and photography skills, @Baja_Costero.
