Late comment, Dennis, sorry I missed original post, but just as unbelievable to catch it in Nov. Also noticed the stunning multi-offset E. grusonii tucked off to the side of one pic -- equally amazing to this upstate New Yorker! Doesn't even need blossoms !

You won't notice the flowers if you don't look for them. Plenty of seeds.

My gifted grusoni is a good 14" across, supposedly large enough for blossoms. I assure you I look every day when out on deck, since it's plunked "rat" in front of my adirondack rocker -- no blossoms

But the spines glow great in sunset, so not a big deal

Thats a beautiful garden. I wish we had that climate here so I could grown outside. Nothing beats planting directly into the ground the excellent condition is easily seen in your plants.

A new season has arrived, one month early, one year later and no rain, today is 90 degrees and normal is 72, so I guess mother nature says it's time, so here is the show.

The next three to four days will be the show, then I'll have to wait until next year.

Always super beautiful to see your "Spring Announcement", Dennis -- but alas, even more painful this year, considering the heavy mortality that many of us "up North" suffered this Winter, including (one of) your last picture! Although Internet nursery bought, I got 2 blossoms last Summer from my E. horizon. Now I only have a glimmer of hope it's still alive
