I thought as it is the time of year when cacti start to wake up, that this might be a relevant topic! I'm looking for 3 pics that run from the first indications to full flowering glory. I appreciate people will need to dig into their picture archives for this. However it might also be of practical value in showing people what first indications look like. Alternatively I could be accused of trying a bit too hard for novelty of topic!!! I have given below a couple of my own examples as a kick off.
First Echinocereues rosei (Oro Grande) (which I think is just a nice form of polyacanthus) :
first sight......
