The plants are my mothers - she and my dad got them started a long time ago - here is pic from previous year - although it seems to be blooming in June. The first one I posted will be way done by June I think. The other three plants all have buds now - just one doesn't show much yet.

I believe it must be the dryness - I checked on them today. My mom can't see well anymore and think they were too hard to reach. My dad kept a detailed journal of his plants - I can't remember if there was info in that book about the orchid cactus or not - will check and post back. Thanks for the comments....
