I have about 10-15 different cacti blooming at about now. I'll say about half of my collection were blooming on and off this past month.

I just love watching them bloom with anticipation, another is getting ready here, yippie, Annie

I know what you mean, even if I've seen them bloom already.

Beautiful - isn't the anticipation the most exciting part!

Yes, I love the anticipation. I always say "I can't wait to see them bloom". In the late winter, we would examine our bare cacti to see if any buds have formed yet.

I guess you'll have to keep a closer look, Annie. Some of these cacti only bloom for one day or even less. Better luck next time.
