Night blooming cactus flowers
Growing cactus can be a rewarding experience when they flower, sometimes the size of the flower can be quite unexpected. There are many colors, shapes and smells. Some that bloom on Christmas day, some that bloom only at night.
It took a few years of them being in the ground before they flowered.
They will open and close depending on their pollinators food schedule.
I did not see any, but I hear these flowers use bats to pollinate.
Another type of cactus but with a very similar looking flower.
This prickly pear above has small flower, just like its pads.
The tops of some cactus can be completely covered in flowers, filling all the space. They can look like a crown.
Yo brother,
Nice post! Those cactuses look awesome. Did not know that it can look like the last picture. Beautfiul! (:
Cheers!
THANKS GTW, yeah many of them have circles around them in flowers and such. Very different than normal plants (non-cacti/succulents).
Haha, you are welcome - as always :D
