Argentine Giant Cactus Flower
There are so many flowers popping out, it’s hard to keep up. We visited Mom at the ranch on Friday and I saw this Argentine giant cactus flower blooming in a neighbor’s yard. So pretty and such a delicate fragrance. I can hardly wait until our giant blooms in a week or so. Click on the image to enlarge.
Our First Beavertail Cactus Flower
I posted about a neighbor’s Hot Pink Beavertail Flower a few days ago and now, we have our first open flowers. This is one of several beavertail cacti that Bob transplanted from the upper part of our property to the rock and cactus garden beside the RV drive. Click on the image to enlarge.
The Hedgehog Cactus Flowers are Opening
We have been expecting the hedgehog cactus flowers to open just after the first few days of spring. Well, they’re starting to open. The first two were open yesterday and a third one opened today. It looks like another will be opening tomorrow, too.
We’re still waiting on our beavertail cactus flowers which should start to open soon. Click on the image to enlarge.
Hot Pink Beavertail Cactus Flower
Our neighbors a few blocks away have a mature beavertail cactus growing in their yard. It always seems to be the first one in the area to bloom. Click on the image to enlarge.
I took this image of one of many flowers to come today. My beavertail has a lot of flower buds and should bloom any day now. I also have many, many hedgehog buds all around the lot. More photos to come as spring progresses.
