mammilaria elongata

I believe the 'bud' on your Stapelia is in fact a seed pod. You're going to have babies!

It is nearing the end of Aloe and Euphorbia flowering season. Some of the late bloomers here. It's also the start of the cactus flowering season. Here are a few of what are in bloom now.

Aloe africana.A smaller Aloe marlothii blooming for the 3rd or 4th year.Ferocactus pilosus.Ferocactus robustus.Mammillaria mystax.Euphorbia stellaspina.Opuntia sp.Fouquieria splendens.Sarcocaulon pattersonii.Crassula arborescens. 1st time for me.

Can someone please identify mine

Echeveria purpusorum about to finally open.

Pachyveria "Blue Pearl" still flowering, only wish I could get this to pollinate. Anyone know if it's self fertile?

Echeveria 'Blue Prince' is at it again, 4th set of flowers in about 6 months.

Last but not least is my favorite flower of the month Ledebouria socialis

Municmango

In this thread, we are posting plants that are blooming. I see you started 2 threads, both the same, but you never posted any photos - how can anyone ID your plant without photo? Is this the plant you wanted ID for? If so, please post photo on just ONE of the threads you already started - we have been commenting & hoping the photo will appear. Continue with one thread only pls. (to ID same plant..)

Schlumbergera truncata blooming for the third time.

I've posted the flower of the first one before, so this time a photo of the whole plant:

Aloe rauhii - Fourth time this year. =)

Haworthia 'Kegani' x 'Korizato' - Leaves are much more interesting than the flowers!

Gasteria bicolor var. liliputana - Still blooming from last month, but this time a photo of the flowers fully open.

Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri (Easter cactus, Spring cactus )

Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Chocolate Soldier' - my first blooms!

Gasteraloe I think this is the 3rd time in 2 years this has bloomed for me.

Trichocereus grandiflorus 'Torch Cactus'

I WISH I knew more about my torch cactus. I'd love to know how many days out I am on blooms opening, I feel like I check it 40 times a day! It had an open bloom on it when I bought it, so I know how gorgeous they are.

perhaps time for a larger pot

mammillaria bocasana

Flowers big and small.

Mammillaria crucigera.Strombocactus disciformis and a couple Turbinicarpus sp.Mammillaria sp.

And more.

Yellow flowered Aloe buhriiEchinopsis (?) sp.
Trichodiadema densum. Grown in 60% perlite, 20% compost, 20% soil.Companian plant Sprekelia formosissima.Lost the name of this Mesemb.

Aloebot - Your T. densum looks so nicely grown! The purple flowers are fantastic.

Just wondering if you had any particular tips for growing Trichodiadema? I'm getting a T. stellatum in maybe two weeks and never grew one before. Particularly for soil choice. Might make a new thread once I get it, I need to get on my research!

Two more succulents flowering for me now:

Haworthia 'Norikom'

Haworthia 'Rioja'

Another two are starting inflorescenses now, can't wait!

First epidendrum blooms of the season for me:

The first one is fairly new for me, but I don't have its name and it looks like one I already had - perhaps it is a cutting from the old plant. The second one I've had for a very long time, and it blooms at least twice a year.

My plants are finally waking up after the dreary CT winter! It was definitely a shock for me and my plants, I'm used to 80ish degrees after mid-March and Connecticut is just so cold!!! Everything seems to be doing well, it just seems like blooms are coming later for some species than usual!

Bulbine mesembryanthemoides

Ornithogalum juncifolia x brittenae

Euphorbia tulearensis

Stephania perrieri

Astrophytum super-kabuto type v

Mammilaria hernandezii

Ledebouria galpinii

So pretty Nil...

Ben - very interesting plants. Looks like your growing area is very bright.

Kevin - that's a beautiful shot of your Gasteria bicolor var. liliputana.

davez, does your mammillaria bocasana have soft spines? It's very pretty, I love the flower color.

Epiphyllum 'FDR'

Blooms from friends garden in San Antonio.

Princess Kelly epidendrum, which I recently hung in a bush of some sort because it gets very leggy. One of the arms broke off, and the flowers on it still opened, and I have it on my table in the pergola.

My Graptosedum 'California Sunset' is in bloom.

And this year the white flowers on my Desert Rose have been turning a slight pink with age. Something different.

Notocactus ottonis

Portulaca

Hot pink rhipsalis ramulosa

Notocactus uebelmannianus

Grafted Parodia leninghausii

Kalanchoe Simone

Lepismium cruciformis

Ferocactus sp (6 years owned), first flower

Manmilaria parkinsonii

Kalanchoe farinacea (still blooming)

delosperma firespinner

Gibbaeum dispar - Open first thing in the morning, closed at night.

Haworthia venosa subsp. tessellata - leaves more interesting than the flowers. =)

Haworthia attenuata - Only way to get the whole thing in one shot is to take it early!

Here are a couple more epiphyllum - I have more but these are the photos I have on hand now:

This one has not bloomed for me before, and unfortunately I do not have names for these.

Still waiting - Echeveria pulidonis I believe :)

no names? Bad Lars!

Crassula 'Ivory Pagoda'

Delosperma tradescantioides

davez7anv, love that delosperma firespinner!!!

Trichodiadema densum

More epiphyllum:

I've had this one for years and never knew its name.Fairly new to me: Camp Robber, second year to bloom.Tabasco, last year flower was more red.Spring on MarsUnidentified - was given to me without a name.I think this is called Orangutan, or Orange something.Close-up of Magenta flower - the oldest and largest epi that I have.I do not remember what this is called. I had written the name of this on a tag with disappearing ink. I'm sure someone here knows what it is. I think it may be Astrophytum myriostigma quadricostatum or Bishop's Hat.

Epi 'Tribute to Beauty'

Orphaned cactus that came with the house (noid)

Quite enjoy seeing everyones Spring gifts and sharing mine. These are rebutias, the mini cacti. Their bodies are small but their charming flower impressions is big. I posted the others on my thread. :]

Rebutia Peach Melba. My tiniest cactus.

2nd tiniest

Rebutia albiflora New purchase from ebay. Didn't skip a beat. Opened 6 buds after potting it up.

And another mini - Sulcorebutia duo

Similar coloring but size difference is evident.

Sulco bicolor and the multifloral Sulco canigueralii.

Mammillaria baldiana

And my first rebutia narvaerences growing and flowering every year.

Have to throw this in - Diversity in size not just color. Small moon in the shadow of Jupiter.

Finally have something blooming, Adenium (sp.?):

More buds:

And a white one:

Well these aren't as exciting as I expected! Or maybe they aren't blooming true? I thought the flowers were going to be a little larger.

Crassula perforata -

But a close look (which is hard for me to photograph) shows a cute little flower.

Can't wait for this little monster to open... it's getting bigger every day...

What I've got going on in my yard today. I know the names, but I'm too lazy to add them....

*Please ignore my weeds. They are currently in the "so out of hand I don't even know where to start" phase.*

Truncata still blooming and now growing leaves at the same time

Better late than never

Question for Amy. Can you name the Mesemb with the orange/yellow flowers. Is it a Delosperma sp. ? It looks very compact and the flowers are very nice.

Yes aloebot, it is. Sunrise I believe? I bought it at Home Depot this year. It has had flowers on it for weeks now! I think it looks so compact because it was pretty pot bound.

Maybe it's fire spinner. I'll have to look out the tag now, I'm second guessing myself!

A sneak peek at my new container cactus garden!
