Bloomin' Cactus

One of our barrel cactus just bloomed. The first photo is the cactus blooming last year. Just a single flower. The second photo is the cactus beginning to bloom this year. (I took this yesterday).  Then today, full bloom, and finally a closeup. The blossoms don't last long. They open at night are in full bloom with the morning sun, and then by afternoon they start deteriorating. But it is a beautiful sight while it lasts. At full bloom there were over 4 dozen blossoms.
