I agree with everyone's evaluation. Your cactus plants are stunningly beautiful.
The number of blossoms on your plants is amazing as well. What kind of plant food are you using? One of our former club members used Miracle Grow at half strength. He too did always have numerous flowers on his plants.

My outside garden receives no plant food. Most are planted in native soil which is heavy clay. Now, as I move and add more to the garden, I dig out and add gravel and construction sand to the native soil. I built the house over 16 years ago and before housing moved in, the property was pasture. I sure there is composted cow dung hidden somewhere in the soil. :lol:

Oh my diddy diddy days .

I almost lost control of myself then. Coupled with the music i'm playing. Deep and Chilled Euphorbia - ! Sorry Euphoria .

My Eyes very nearly popped out of my head and I screamed.

Thats one stonking cactus garden you have there. I ai'nt never seen so many blooms on Echinopsis like that. The pink ones are just crazy . When I saw the Orange/Red one , I very nearly done my nutt.

.

Peace

Not too sure what all that means, but thanks. It was a good year for blooms, even though it last only one day. :(

Stonking ( large )

My diddy days ( surprised or shocked )

Do my nutt ( almost got too excited )

Sorry but I will lapse into modern street talk , if it's not that it's London rhymning slang ( cockney ). I need to try curb this a bit more. :I

Yes but it's worth the wait , that moment is heart touching. And thats why we have photography , so we can make these moments last. Documented even
