Here's my Euphorbia woodii. Not big flowers, but lots of them:

And something very different: Graptopetalum sp. nov. Graptopetalums have some lovely flowers, I think.

This gives an idea of the plant and the number of sprays of flowers it has

One of the less sedumy sedums in flower; S. suavolens with similar recurved petals to the S. commixtum flower I posted a few pages back.

Sedum acre in full flower right now and much loved by the tiny yellow-faced bees.

and I'm eagerly awaiting my first ever cactus flowers. I've only got a couple of cacti that were gifts or, as in this case, came free with a pot I wanted.
