So happy I started my cacti collection 8 years ago. I've seen countless blooms like these in my own backyard.

It's always amazed me how some cacti can go through such a huge effort to produce flowers that are so immense in comparison to the overall size of the plant.

We have these where I live in New Mexico. It's a treat to see them bloom for all of 2 to 3 days. But the same plant will bloom multiple times over the season, so if you miss one bloom there will be another to enjoy.

Aww...one of my best friends just sent me the link to this video as an early and perpetual Mother's Day celebration. Isn't that tremendously thoughtful?!? Thanks so much for sharing!! Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms out there. Keep smiling! ☺️
An absolutely stunning display! Gorgeous at 1080p on a 27" monitor! Cacti have some of the most spectacular blooms in nature, and these plants are, themselves, remarkable specimens!
When watching a video about cacti, I can't help but feel amazed and in awe of their wild beauty. Cacti with their rough branches and delicate leaves exude life and toughness of the desert. I feel like I'm drawn to their resilience and uniqueness. It's fascinating to know that cacti can survive in some of the harshest conditions on earth, where water is scarce and humidity is low. They can also exist in dry and sandy environments. This shows that life can thrive in places where we think it's impossible. Witnessing the uniqueness and vitality of cacti makes me feel impressed and more respectful of nature. We need to preserve and protect their habitats so that they can continue to exist and flourish in this world.
Whoever matched the music is a genius. Congratulations to the anonymous hero.

So special, as they only bloom for a day. We are on “cactus flower watch” all spring/summer!
I can not express enough how fascinating, and amazing it is to witness this beauty.....I am awe-struck by it
Beautiful to see these in time-lapse. Thank you.
One of the most satisfaying videos I’ve ever seen
I had no idea that they can bloom flowers. I am so excited to see if my recent cacti collection I started collecting will bloom one day. Never had an interest in them until recently when I started bringing in more plants to give life to my balcony with flowers, greenery, herbs and now cacti's to add to the mix. I just love collecting the pots they can be placed in and fell in love with the idea of collecting cacti's which I never knew could be so additive.
I am speechless...this is the most beautiful visually stunning film I have ever seem...Bravo to the filmographer
