Here's one from yesterday. I'm happy to say that since I moved my babies into more light, there's more bud activity.

This is 'Pink Devil'--I had to stick a baby food jar in there to hold up the flower in case you noticed the glass :-).

This Echinocereus subinermus surprised me today

Here's another photo of my Adenium 'Black Window' (wonder if it's the same as 'Black Widow' and there was a typo somewhere along the way). The flower pictured before is on the left and is now much more red. You can see one starting to open on the right. They're a very dark black red when they first open.

Noto that yellow flower is gorgeous! Makes me think of 7up;).

SLD beautiful Adenium:). You're probably right it's most likely a typo:).

I love the Ariocarpus the best tho;).

Hylocereus dragon fruits got a upper hand to go higher. There was flowers and now fruits. Sharing this image from the net.

L. Williamsii about to flower

Welwitschia in flower

Male mature, female developing.

Not all from today but, what the heck!!!!

Some Gymno's. I've crossed all three so we will see what becomes of my efforts!!!

Haworthia sp. (not clear, leaf shape looks like a cross between cymbiformis and cuspidata), the flower is underwhelming, but this one has much shorter inflorescence than usual, less than a foot.

Mfyss, will the male still be holding pollen when the female is receptive? I can't tell how mature the female flower is.

What is the name of the Sedum looking plant with a Graptopetalum looking flower?

L. Williamsii flower

Aloebot -

the second to last one? Pachyphytum 'blackberry'

Pedilanthus or common name lucky bird plant.

Stapelianthus decaryi. Happy :)

Gymnocalycium friedrichii

For alobot, the female Welwitschia 'seems' mature producing what looks like small drops of glycerine; two male plants produced pollen, though roaches have clobbered one. Can't tell if anything will happen, so far.

Mfyss, I wish you good luck!

Crassula falcata

The flower dam has burst :-)

Not so unusual, but blooming nevertheless, GMF, Parodia leninghausii (I believe?) and Gymno rotundulum

That Noto is beautiful:)!

I agree that the Noto is beautiful. I can never get mine to flower even when I know they have flowered before :-( But Alain, you have the advantage of climate over me :-)

More:

This flower bloomed more oval than round

This is a very plain Rainbow Burst--oh well, they can't all be eye-catchers.

Noto

Any you post are eye-catchers in my opinion! They are all so beautiful, makes me want some :)

wow, do I want some of those too! For sure the climate is ideal here for Notos, hot sunny days, cool nights. Enduring wet winters with many morning frosts and very little attention from me! Somehow this one has been a sure thing year in and year out. No such luck with many others though ;(

Thank you Rina, I think the same about the plants you grow--my Echeverias don't do well for me at all. Yet Dave is only 50 miles away from me and his do great???????

Alain, in summer we have hot days, cool nights, tons of sunshine, but the similarity ends there--we have some below zero days here in winter. The trouble with the hybrids is that they aren't that pretty of a plant and the flowers only last a day. But I'm totally addicted. My relatives make fun of me for having so many cactus, but they never see the flower display.

Here are some more, that's probably it for August, I see some bud formation, but that may take a few weeks or maybe this is it for the year.

Aloinopsis luckhoffii.. bit raggedy but blooming!

Echinopsis 'Wild Red Berry'

That is different Garrett...had to look it up - it is suppose to have 'citrusy smell' - does it?

Garret: that looks like a Halloween plant :-)

Garret, I have been looking for Rhytidocaulon macrolobum seeds but can't seem to find a good source, how/where did you get yours (if you don't mind sharing the info)

Rina, I just smelled it and it really doesnt smell like anything to me, not even stinky.

Alain, I got mine from miles2go.

Graptopetalum macdougallii

Hybrid Rose flower.

Aeschynanthus radicans 'Rasta'

1 more, Hatoria, Easter Cactus, giving a show in August. this plant I obtained from an elderly man moving to a care facility. I bought his 4 beautiful plants and have been rehabilitating them. This is the first time it has bloomed for me.

Ariocarpus fissuratus

Another Adenium... this one was simply labeled "unknown hybrid"

Went home for lunch today just to catch these open.

Astrophytum myriostigma - my first ever cactus flowers!!

Plumeria. Don't know the names.

Tyler

Everyone's bloom are very pretty. :)

I am posting a bloom I missed. This is my punishment for not paying more attention to my plants. My Epiphyllum oxypetalum bloomed for the first time and I didn't even know there was a bud on it. I saw it yesterday when my grandson pulled my shade up. Picture taken from inside. I checked later last night and it still looked like that, I was hoping it might open again. I could kick myself, lol.

Nancy--I hate when that happens!

notolover, I am so bummed about it. I can only imagine how beautiful it was. :(
