So nice!^ 3 at once. A couple of days ago two of my Loph's popped out a flower each seemingly overnight, photo's to follow. Does anyone else experience this rapidity of blooming with L. williamsii? These two plants already bloomed this year. It seems Peyote can bloom quite abundantly.

Also blooming chez moi are: a Gymnocalycium capillaense, an unidentified Mammilaria and - to my great delight - a Turbinicarpus polaskii. Simply gorgeous! :love:
 
^Lovely pics!

Mine just finished another round of blooming and have enjoyed some fresh air in a recent spell of warm weather. Photos will eventually follow.
 
Yea those are beautiful guys. Ive got multiple guys budding but this is going to b the first.

well as I went to my local home improvement store the other night I found an exact same looking globular as that echinopsis dominos but it had yellow flower buds instead of red/purple and I could tell it was opening the next day. When I got home I realized it was named dominos' echinopsis subendatum. so apparently im starting to collect the dominos' cacti now :D

Here's a few of my recent blooms, as promised.

Two Lophs bloomed today, but they'd gone to bed for the night already by the time I got round to photographing them.

One of my Gymnocalyciums flowered recently.

Other photo's, I'll edit the text to describe.

I have a Gymno flowering now too and a "rose quartz" but prolly wont open for another month. the last one is really pretty, is it a spinosom or whatever? I woke up to have a 3 for 1 today and thought onyl 2 were going to open at once so that was a nice surprise.

I wish I knew! I rescued it from a florist's shop about 4 years ago and I've been trying to work out what it is ever since. Single white spines and a woolly top; Rebutia? Not Mammillaria, I think. Whatever, it's an ongoing puzzle. Also, lots of spines got knocked off when I moved a while ago so it used to be more handsome. Nevertheless, the flowers are very cute.

So, that spine-free one of yours with the huge white flowers is an Echinopsis?

It's always a treat when flowers unexpectedly appear. That's what one of my Lophs did again the other day. I'd checked them the night before and saw one bud, then the following morning there were flowers on two plants. I had the feeling that would happen, it was like the plants told me 😁
 
yea that one is a echinopsis dominos and then I went and found one called a dominos' echinopsis subendatum and it has yesllow flower tubes and little spines on the wooly areoles so I suppose there is a whole line of dominos variety echinopsis.
 
Rock and roll DRey, three at once son!8)

@downwards, on the fourth group pic bottom left, is that cactus that is swinging to the right and up growing off that cut base? It's hard for me to tell if it's growing off it or from back and behind it separate. If it is indeed growing off it that is an incredible balancing act and show of strength to not fall off. Pretty cool.
