Too warm, add a couple of sunny days, and this happens

Lovely - seeing your perezdelarosae encouraged me to look into my greenhouse just now to see what was flowering amongst the mamms.
First time I've managed to get out there this week!

No perezdelarosae in flower. Several lasiacantha/magallanii (always early flowerers for me) but I also spotted these small first-timers:

Mine liked the sun too. This has been trying for weeks to get a flower open.

Nice to see some flowers again!

I love that M. plumosa - I always thought they flowered in the autumn... the red/pink colour is rather nice. No signs of flowers on any of my cacti as yet, but it's early days.
