That little bit of rain we had last week and this week has encouraged my cactus to give me two beautiful blooms. The funny thing is that I looked at this cactus two nights ago and I didn't see any sign that it was going to bloom but, Friday morning there were two beautiful blooms and one bud.
This shot gives you and idea of how tall they shoot up from the cactus. They pop up so fast I swear you could almost watch them grow!

Sharon, you are absolutely right, one can almost watch them grow. I can tell from mine. :-)
What amazing and exotic flowers! They almost look fake!! Thank you so much for your comment on my blog - I laughed so hard at your story and wish I could have seen it myself! Have a great weekend!!
Cactus blooms are indeed amazing.
It's amazing how plants and flowers respond so quickly to a rare drop of water. Gorgeous!
great images. i love cactus flowers and the rain right now has been so helpful
What a spectacular reward for such a small amount of rain. If only more things were so generous.
These are amazing and beautiful! People who have never spent time in the desert generally don't realize how beautiful it is when the cacti are in bloom. And I've heard it said, "A little rain will do ya!" Oh, wait, that was "a little Brylcream."
They are real opportunists!
These are lovely, they look like the night bloomers.
These are so amazing. That is why I love cactus.
Amazing that they pop up so quickly in response to just a little bit of rain.
Another miracle of nature, and so lucky that you were there to view it.
Cactus blooms are so exotic...and quick flowering :) lucky you're even quicker on the trigger Sharon :)
Breathtaking! Just love the "blush" of color.
