Hi Guys 😀 I hope you are all enjoying the wonderful growing season so far this year and that you are already seeing your cacti and succulents coming into bud and bloom.
Spring 2024 has been blooming amazing for me and Hans and we have had lots of our Cacti and Succulents coming into bloom and many first time bloomers for us.
We replaced our old green covered Polytunnel with a new clear covered one last year, and the difference this has made for the cactus flowers has been truly remarkable, the new clear polytunnel is so much brighter than our old green covered one was, all the extra light inside our new polytunnel has really encouraged a lot more of our cacti to come into bud and bloom already.
Here are some photos of all the STUNNING cacti that we have had blooming for us during the month of May 2024, I hope you enjoy the photos of all of the beautiful cactus flowers, we still have lots more of our cacti coming into bud now its June and over these next few weeks there is going to be LOTS and LOTS of STUNNING Cactus blooms I will be sharing with you monthly updates on all of our cactus flowers both on my Website here and also on my You Tube Channel called Desert Plants of Avalon.
