When I bought this Golden Ball Cactus (Notocactus leninghausii) at the garden shop the other day, the flower buds were all closed. Just a little while after I got it home and on the patio, the flowers opened. Click on the image to enlarge.

How long does it stay in bloom?
Some years ago while stationed at Edwards AFB, California I was introduced to the desert in spring. What a marvelous sight to see… I recall a spot somwhere west of Lancaster where all the shutter-bugs from L.A. would come up to the high desert to take pictures…and I wouldn’t normally bring this up but years later I saw the same picture (that many of us took) on a calendar sold at a mall in Massachusetts.

The Poppy Fields? Thats the only location Cap’n and I can think of. The desert in the spring and summer are really nice.
