Thank You Margaret! I have another plant that is bigger and is my original plant, so I will be keeping an eye on it also.

I feel really honored to have this cactus bloom and to think I almost missed it, as the pot is hidden from view in the kitchen window behind the curtain in a corner of the window sill. I saw the bloom from outdoors. And the bloom only last for one day.

Simply beautiful!!!

I now have two blooms at the sametime, I am so thrilled, one of the flowers has a ragged edge, don't know what happened to it, the flowers do have a very pale pinkish tinge to the outer edges and down the centers of the outer most petals.

Posted By: comfrey Re: Blooming Echinopsis - September 29th, 2006 at 10:26 AM
Well Tonya..It may be quite awhile before you get to see blooms on yours...but from what I understand, they need to be root bound in order to bloom, so the smaller the pot the faster it may bloom.

Beautiful flower! Can't wait to see the others!!!
Posted By: Tonya Re: Blooming Echinopsis - September 29th, 2006 at 07:21 PM
