Unknown mammilaria opened first of many flowers today. If anybody recognizes it, I am open to finally naming it..

I bought it over a year ago labeled as Mammilaria microhelia, but I have my doubts..

I'm usually not home at this time of the day. By the time I get home it's dark and I thought I was going to completely miss this. Hello, Sunshine!

Pleiospilos nelli

Tyler

Pretty little Turbinicarpus alonsoi - named after the 14 year old Mexican boy, Alonso Garcia, who discovered it.

Fly, nice Turbi.! I like them a lot. So do ground squirrels who used to prefer to eat rather than look at them. I have a poor picture of a very old one of these from the show I will try to attach to this comment or a future one. I hope this non-flowering picture isn't inappropriate for this thread.

Mammillaria plumosa

aloebot, that´s a big old venerable !!!

Stomatium alboroseum, first bloom. Finally.

Euphorbia horrida or possibly E. polygona

Euphorbia horrida v. major

Crassula sp. variegated

A Cucurbit sp. vine that appears every year

A volunteer bulb that returns larger every year

Small bonsai Euphorbia Francoisii

wow Aloebot! What is that bulb with the hanging flowers?

Ycloh, that Euph. francoisii is awesome!

Josue, it is Lachenalia aloides v. quadricolor. I didn't plant this. It naturalized either from a seed or a plant/bulb falling out of a pot I had there years ago. I have a second smaller clump close by. I was watching to see if it would come up again this year and nothing. The other day I walked by and there it was and already in bloom. I think it did all this growing in less than 2 weeks.

arg! I Lost a Euphorbia Francoisii in a freeze. It just got over looked when I was bringing plants in.

Mammilaria

Aloebot, Josue, Seed grown. Thanks

Another Euphorbia Francoisii finally budding. The leaves very dark red.

Close up

My lophophora budding.

Few days before it bud, I found 4 seeds on the white fluffy stuff.

Sow on the 12 Feb 2018 and today pea size, but only 2 sprouts.

Nice Ycloh1 - my favourite cactus of all - lots of mine are in flower at the moment - keep us posted.

SpanishFly, I saw it, yours with 3 clump , cool. Thanks

Only 'common' Kalanchoe , but any color is welcomed :)

I’ll post again when open. Ferrocactus macrodiscus. Gets little care, cold nights, blazing summer sun.

Nice one, socks.

Stenocactus vaupelianus, with both heads now in flower.

And S. pentacanthus, with a stack of blooms now.

This Aloinopsis malherbii surprised me by blooming again this winter..

Beautiful, SpanishFly!

Beth, I am jealous ;-). Mine died from root rot after the mealies got it. Yours looks so good!

My ‘bonsai’ Hatiora:

Ginny, I've been seeing these for sale a lot around here lately (though none today, just a new Lithops followed me home). Should I nab you one when I see them again? And I hate to admit it, but that Aloinopsis is still in the peaty crap brick it was in when I bought it,..I hate to change it if the plant is happy but it feels so wrong!!!!

This Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is the plant I received in 2010 for my Dad's funeral. It's had some tough times through the years and has been pruned and restarted a few times. The latest insult was being locked behind hurricane shutters with high heat, no light and no electricity for a week. But it still blooms!

This is what it looked like last year - Big difference, but still healthy.

And my white Desert Rose and her offspring are blooming nicely.

My new pink TC. The first buds all fell off after bringing it home, but it is looking nice today! $2.50 at my Publix grocery store.

Here's a closeup.

Lots of Aloe plants are blooming, but I am always happy to see Aloe vera bloom.

Euphorbia symmetrica

Looking good Crenda, I used to live in Tampa and I miss Publix big time.

Euph. mammillaris variegated

Aloe rupestris

Euph. stellaspina

Euph. fruiticosa blue form

Crenda, I love plants with stories. Beautiful kalanchoe

A month old rescue.. Hopefully heat and rain will break the glue down, so I can safely remove the rest of the strawflower.

Parodias still brightening up my days

The first Mammilaria flowers have opened up as well

As has the Pachyphytum oviferum

A lot of cacti are starting to show the first signs of budding. Some time next month the greenhouse should be a lot more colourful!

Aloe sinkatana (Probably a hybrid but the label just says the species) it may or may not bloom in February, I don't know how long it takes?

Just don't tell her about the ice/snow on the other side of the window!

4 year old Kalanchoe farinacea, bloomed every spring since I got it as a 2-inch cutting.

this thread has gotten so long...time for a new month! :-)

This aloe belongs to a friend...any ideas what it is?...besides "pretty" ;-)

One of my pineapples, 3rd year blooming, so the fruit is the size of an apple at this point. Pleasant suprise for Friday morning.

Found these today. Two flower spikes Aloe jucunda they probably belong in March's bloom thread but I was too excited to wait.

Wild portulaca flowering all over my garden.. love the color so I am ignoring it taking slowly over..

Adenium multiflorum

Tyler

Edited to add image with light coming from behind.

Euphorbia tithymaloides is widely grown, with dozens of great common names and probably still put in the genus Pedilanthis in many collections.

Haworthia cuspidata; took 23 days for the inflorescence to grow and bloom.

I love the red flower on this TC -

I had something weird happen last year and all of my red plants, including some dark pink, died. But I have a nice new one that I will watch for signs of trouble.

(I did manage to save a few branches from my oldest red plant and it looks like they are going to make it. It is a normal pinkish red, not scarlet like the new kid. Maybe the scarlet plants are not as hardy.)

Conny, have you resumed watering your cactus yet??

Conny, thanks~!

Crenda, what an interesting color...

Another TC on “steroids”-flowering for the second time since I got it from the clearance rack in local store. In the past I really struggled getting them to flower even once, being in South FL, but this year all bets are off!

Crenda, succulentlife

Nice blooms! I also have TC blooming right now - but just one lonely flower on a plant:

Nothing flashy- Haworthia reinwardti var.chalumni in flower, but I’ll take it !

Barely visible flowers-Mouse Tail Cactus

From a single cutting, about 10 years old..I keep it in my backyard hanging on bonsaied gardenia tree.

First flower opened today, it is a miracle I even caught that.. This Rhipaslis hangs on the same gardenia as the one above.
