Quite often we think of cacti as thorny, ugly plants which have no beauty about them. However, some of them have the most stunning and delicate flowers I have ever seen.
This cactus here is never given a second glance by the visitors to my garden , but I always show them these pictures and watch how their attitudes change. Most often I have people asking me if I could give them a cacti pup. I usually do. I feel these cacti need some promotion.
This bloom here could compete with any of my waterlilies for its beauty. I enjoy these blooms from April to June. Many of my cacti are in bloom in this season.

There are many types of cacti that bloom very beautifully.
So very true, there are so many pretty one out there.
Lovely color on this bloom. I used to grow them but not so much any more.
Thank you, any specific reason why you stopping growing them?
All can say is stupendous bloom and all in pink no less. Very pretty. It is true that most peple (including me) see a cactus only as a prickly. But I am learning a lot from you. From the pricks comes out beauty.
Thank you for your honesty and appreciation. and I am learning history from you. 😀
That’s a very pretty cactus. I just recently (last week) cultivated places for the prickly pear cactus trees in my front yard. They are considered weeds in our area. But I deliberately cultivate and propagate them for the sweet pears.
Hmm.. another one of those that is worth cultivating is the dragon fruit.
They are amazing and different.
They are indeed, they you for the visit and the comment.
