Cacti & Succulent Blooms..

:)Alot of folks get cacti or succulents as a house plant or just for there odd spikey body and or cool shape and dont realize that they have some of the most beautiful blooms of all. Some blooms can be very big and some very very tiny, some smell just dreamy where you could just close your eyes and whiff the air non stop and be in heaven and some can really knock you out reffering to my stinky succulents. LOL!! These are just random bloom pics of some of my cacti and succulents.

All are very nice. Some I recognize. Cactus and succulents were my 1st passion before chids. I have a few and will be getting more in April. Maybe if you have a chance you could go back and label them. So where do you keep all of them... lights, greenhouse????? Maybe some pics of your growing area... we all LOVE pics!

Your pictures and plants are fantastic!
Labels would be good, I now have a want list:rofl:

And Joann, I have a vendor with excellent plant material and good prices, when you're interested.

Very nice, I like the two Stapeliads you have there too. My wife's school has a small collection of succulents and no one knows what their names are. Would be wonderful to compare.

I also recognize Cyanotis sp. maybe Cyanotis barbata???

Beautiful - Did I see a Tradescantia go by?

Thanks everyone, sorry for not filling in the names will get to that shortly im pooped and need to go to bed been working with plants all day.
