This is a macro of another of my Cacti – Gymnocalycium Capillaense in bloom. We have had so many blooms in the last few days from this one mother cactus. Everyday I eagerly await for one of the buds to bloom. These blooms are short lived, they are in show just for a few hours, they bloom around 11 am and close by around 5 p.m.
Its the greatest reward for any gardener to have his or her plants bloom or give fruit. These cacti bloom once a year in summer so they become all the more special to me. I have waited for 3 years before this one even started to bloom , now I have learned the secret to make them bloom each year. A little care goes a long way. I start the feeding process early in spring, I feed these cacti heavy organic feeds twice a month and in summer they double in size and are ready to bloom almost every day.

I so love pink. It reminds me of my Mom.
Pink is my favorite color too 🙂
Beautiful flower. My mom had a similar cactus.
@vidocka, do you know the name of the cactus?
This is the name it is on the title itself – Gymnocalycium Capillaens.
So your mom likes cacti?
Yes, my mom adored cacti. She had many different types.
Such a beautiful bud and raindrops. Nice color too Dawn.
Thank you Carol, I have been enjoy these flowers over the weekend.
You have many cacti. Both pictures are wonderful.
I have a small collection , I love these plants very much. Thank you so much.
i like that so much – a little car goes a very long way!
well that is true smaller cars to go a long way,
it was to be a repeat of your line a little care goes a long time.
LOL I guess small cars do go a long way on little gasoline. But I like big cars as they are more comfortable . 😀
so do I, i would also like to be able to edit my comments!
Don’t we all? sometimes I feel so embarrassed reading my comments/posts. Spell checkers don’t help either.
I’m impressed. You have so many beautiful cacti!
Thank you , I’ve been collecting them for years.
