yeah, what Andy said, hair-suit.

meltan, that is beautiful! I recently picked one of those up at HD (not in bloom) and it's outside summering so hoping it blooms like yours. I love red flowers!

meltan, love these fiery colored blooming plants. Nice little cactus.
They usually are red. The variations I've seen are just in shape and size of flowers.

Epiphyllum 'Shangri-la'

Ok my turn (cracks neck)

Only this for now I will have some m.roythia (can't spell that) later on.

Neil Thanks for the compliment. Im glad this post popped back up on the first page again! Ive been rather lazy lately and havent been going through anything that hasnt been on the first page....Shame on me! BEAUTIFUL flowers everyone!!!

My Faucaria Candida is flowering! I haven't had it for a terribly long time so I can only take partial credit, hehe. I read the blooms open mid afternoon, but I haven't seen it happen yet? Hoping that the back part is a second bud. ^_^

I bought this Huernia Zebrina already with one flower open, but there are at least four other buds that are developing very well under my care! The large one on the left just opened this afternoon. At least I'm able to enjoy this quirky display. =)

Also bought this Echeveria Elegans while it was flowering, but felt it's pretty enough to share anyway. Had bad luck in the past with Echeveria, but I am trying a spot with slightly better light. Hopefully it can grow nicely and survive this time.

Keep posting your blooms! I'm enjoying everybody's photos.

So many beautiful plants and flowers!!!

An eche probably with tag is buried in the pot....

This spike is so tall-over foot ana half in length.

Epiphyllum 'Ivan the Terrible'

rebutia beginning-quarter for scale.

A rehab project handed to me Euphobia Sp?

On the other side of the story it is defiantly a drought survivor.

Aztcqn - Those Echinopsis flowers are pretty impressive. The more orange flower has a great colour palette.

Just a small update for me - my Faucaria Candida finally opened up! I originally thought it was a F. Felina but now I know for sure.

Dragon Fruit (9s/Dark Star):

I'm still waiting for my dragon fruit to bloom, and I've had it almost five years. My queen of the night will bloom tonight or tomorrow night, and then some.

Don't know what this is - the name faded off:

I have two or three of these, and they live in planters in the back yard.

I would really like to know what this is, but the flowers are boring:

Aloe:

Melissa, Absolutely love all your flowers!! Those Baby Toes are so ADORABLE!

Correction and addenda :

The last one is a plant that shows some body scarring - it was a survivor of a 15°F night during our 2011 "Tucson deep-freeze".

Pilosocereus keyensis, sensu lato (syn. P. royenii, P. robinii var. keyensis, P. polygonus var. keyensis, et al)

JP

JP, those two are spectacular!

Wowser,what a lot of beauties here,i havn't taken any pictures of my cacti and succulents in the past couple of weeks.I'm going to have to do something to rectify that,aren't i???

Lepismium cruciform

Nice Jp,how large does a philo have to be before it blooms

Thanks Andy.
spike35: Many Piiosocereus do not bloom until they are several feet tall. Piiosocereus keyensis is one that often flowers when just a couple of feet or so in height. 18" tall rooted cuttings frequently flower for me.

I've got time to wait then I have 5

Looking good Lars! You might like this one. parodia schlosseri

Cute parodia. JP your disco has triple layered flowers!
All beautiful blooms, here!

Discocactus horstii

JP

Nothing too crazy, Aloe aristata

jP
Those cacti remind me of turbans...the flowering is great! Are the flowers scented?
David
Is that your latest acquisition? Nice that it flowers so soon.
Rina

JP, Are your discos a large cactus? Beautiful white flowers!

@Rina Yes, just nearly a month since I got it from IKEA. I have luck with plants from there... they either already have buds or start to flower soon after. This one also came with a pup that I separated during repot.

That is the one I was thinking off, I should start visiting IKEA :-)
Which one did you get it from (Leslie & 401? or?) actually, it probably doesn't matter I think they get same shipments to all their stores.

Rina

Epiphyllum 'Ninja'

@rina yes that's the one, I pass by it from time to time and usually would go in to check it out, most of the time it looks just pathetic (everything dying/etiolating) but sometimes a fresh shipment may be in store for a surprise!

Abromeitiella lotteae

My Echinopsis chamaecereus

Nice Neil, It's not Rose Quartz?

AZT- I don't know

Looks very much like.

Gymnocalycium Fredriecheii

My adromischus cristatus (key lime pie. Yes I had to google the actual name.) is getting there. This is actually the first succulent I'll have had bloom!

(You'll have to forgive the dirt and cat fur. It's amazing what sticks to this plant, and it wont come off!)

Yay! You've discovered the name for both out plants. "Crinkle Leaf Plant" is another name. The chubby paw like leaves are what made me bring one home. Mines got a spike as well. The race is on....

;]

Yup! Sometimes I think I'm better at creative google searches than I am growing things! :)

But the interesting leaf shape and the common name together and I was sold! That's great that you've got a spike too! Don't mention racing though.. I can be a little competitive, haha ;)
