Here is my submission for "Cacti in Flower". This Cliestocactus winteri and was taken in my backyard where it is growing today. I bought this plant at Home Depot and it is one of my easiest to grow plants. It is in flower almost every day of the year.

I chose this shot because John commented on how much he liked it once, and I hope he might vote on it instead of his own.

This is not today's picture since all cacti are sleeping, here. It was taken last spring and it was the first time that such young rebutia albiareolata gave me so many flowers.

A picture of Echinocereus reichenbachii v. perbellus.

That's a bit sneaky Daiv,

but I do admire the plant and the flower very much, so it was probably the right thing to do.

Hi there,

This is my submission - Rebutia muscula. I love this cactus and because it is generously flowering for almost two months I give it a chance:

This is a beautiful picture I got of my Neoporteria huascensis. The coloring on this one is crazy. It makes me think of some of the Echinopsis hybrids.
