These cactus blooms show off their beauty here in Arizona but last only one day. This bloomed for me several years ago and finally the conditions were right for this amazing cactus to bloom again this year. Photographed in my yard here in Arizona.

Echinopsis Cactus
Echinopsis is a large genus of cacti, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus or Easter lily cactus. One small species, E. chamaecereus, is known as the peanut cactus. The 128 species range from large and treelike types to small globose cacti. The name derives from echinos hedgehog or sea urchin, and opsis appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines.
Echinopsis is distinguished from Echinocactus by the length of the flower tube,[citation needed] from Cereus by the form and size of their stems,[citation needed] and from both in the position on the stem occupied by the flowers. They are remarkable for the great size, length of tube, and beauty of their flowers, which, borne upon generally small and dumpy stems, appear much larger and more attractive than would be expected.

Cacti are so amazing and their blooms are fabulous. Too bad they last only one day. I really love this soft pink color. A lady here raises cacti from everywhere and her greenhouse is awesome when they are all in bloom. f/l

I love seeing these when I'm down your way... so photogenic and so beautiful. :-) You captured this one perfectly dear Lucinda. :-) FV
Lucinda Walter replied:
Thank you very much, my friend. This flower bloomed for me several times during the summer months and I was so surprised as the cactus hadn't bloomed for several years. When it did I was out there with my camera many times ;-) Thanks!
