Are the scented?
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

They smell like heaven. Sort of like vanilla.
My nipples are blooming!
The first bloom of the Mammillaria prolifera seed I sowed two years ago with several more buds to come. Actually these are the offsets from the plants that grew from seed that I had knocked off. The others are on a different shelf and haven't budded yet. I'm guessing the occasional exposure to the room lighting at night interferes with flower development.

A dump from the Denver Botanical Gardens in Denver, Colorado, USA. Cacti and more. Enjoy!

It's always a beautiful day when the prairie prickly pears (Opuntia macrorhiza ?) are in bloom.

A little Gymnocalycium. Four years from having been sown from seed and now it's first time flowering.
An Echinopsis, as seen from previous posts.
Cactus show/sale at Mulhalls Nursery in Omaha, Nebraska.
A little visit to Southwest Gardens in Denver, Colorado.
A couple of wild Colorado opuntias.

Danger fruits
The Echinopsis huascha seedlings grew quite a bit in their first season.
The Stenocactus are getting some of their first brain wrinkles now in the second season.

Re: toadstar's cactus
That's beautiful! What diameter is the pot?
Los Angeles, California (USA)
Zone 10b (yearly minimum temperature 1-5° C)
Fishhook cacti are like cats, they only like to be petted in one direction

Re: toadstar's cactus
It's in an 8 inch pot. The flowers themselves are fairly small at less than an inch across.
