Hi Guys’
I hope you are all enjoying the start of the growing season so far and that your cacti and succulents are starting to bud and bloom, as you guys may know this is my first year with my new greenhouse and I was wondering how the cacti would respond in there, well not only have the cacti really responded well this Spring with lots of new spines but WOW so many of my cacti are not only budding but many are blooming or have been blooming much earlier than usual for April and May, yes the greenhouse has really worked magic for my collection.

Normally at this time of year in Spring I see the Mammillaria’s, Rebutia’s, and Chamaecereus and Lovivias budding up and blooming but I have never seen SO MANY Mammillaria and lots of my other cacti blooming so early, April was a blooming amazing month and May looks like its even better with lots of buds on all my other cacti, many that have not bloomed before for me, what an exciting and blooming amazing Spring it is and long may the blooming continue haha.
Here are some photos of some of the beautiful blooming cacti that have been blooming in April, I have lots more blooming now in May but I will save them for my next Blog haha, I hope you enjoy the photos and if you love cacti and succulents and want to know more about how to grow them then please do go over to my You Tube Channel called Desert Plants of Avalon that is dedicated to growing these amazing and fascinating plants.






























I am so happy that April 2026 and now into May has been the BEST BLOOMING Spring yet,
Stay tuned for my next Blog coming up on this Website on all the May Cactus blooms I have in the greenhouse this May.
Thanks so much for reading guys and wishing you all a BLOOMING AMAZING cactus powered day or evening.
