Our Prickly Pear Cactus just began blooming last year. The buds come up and bloom for just about 24 hours and whilt away. Such a beautiful flower that lasts for such a short time. Seems all cactus flowers have a very short bloom.
The cactus here in our yard in Arizona bloom around May/June although wildflower season in the Sonoran Desert is in late February- March.
@lolomarie I am always amazed at how much beauty cacti bring to their environment. Thanks for sharing!

I have a cactus, no idea what it is... but its blooms last less than a day also and wilt away! Thought that was interesting since succulent blooms last for what seems like ages!

I'm not sure but I think cactus and succulents are different species/families? Christmas Cactus look like they are succulents don't they? Confusing.....
