Not very big flowers but interesting cephalism bearing plants are Melocatus which we in cooler climes have a problem with but suit yours. https://succulentalley.com/melocactus/ As Anttisepp says the rainforest type of cacti given some shade would probably do well in your area, plus have reasonably l...
