I went outside not long after sunup today and saw one of my Echinopsis (I think) had opened a white flower as big as my hand. Knowing these delicate beauties wilt within hours of opening at night, I grabbed my Samsung and took photos. My Ravenea xero tried to hog the stage. Some of my other cacti are blooming too.

I have two Melocactus that bloom and fruit year-round. We call the fruit "pink chilis".

    My Echinopsis sp. cactus was "in the pink" this Monday morning! Although each flower barely lasts a day, it blooms off and on during hot weather here. Right now is typically the largest display of the year. It handles frost, drought, heat, sun and being root-bound with no complaints and rewards me with this annual show. Definitely worth it!
