Very cool. Should take some macro shots of the flowers.

Very pretty. Are cactus blooms fleeting, or do they have some staying power?

Very nice, very nice. I'm going to have to look into it and see if cactus will survive the winter in my part of TX

we occasionally have freezing temps here and 95% of the cacti survive no problem

some get frozen and killed right down to the ground - but grow back next year
