Rebutia in all her glory

in #gardening5 years ago (edited)

There she is...
The Rebutia hybrid cactus I was showing you only last week is in full bloom now. There is one more tiny little bud left. But it wasn't developing with the rest, so I am not sure if it will still bloom.

Since it was the first time it bloomed for me, I wasn't sure how long the flowers will last. I took so many photos photos when the first flower opened. Just in case I don't see i the next day. Come cacti bloom just for one day (or one night). But this is a nice surprise. That very same first flower is still on those photos. It doesn't look as good as the newer ones, but 7 days is not bad :). Today, on the day 8th is already faded.

Isn't it gorgeous? I wish it did last longer, but later on others should bloom.
You can also see a little bit of the place where I keep all the cacti and Rabutia's neighbours. All year round outside in side their little Ikea double-decker trays. Seems they like it this way.

Hmmm. You are tempting me. Are all Rebutias red?

This is my first Rebutia in bloom. But I don't think so...

To tempt you a bit more. There are bald ones... and even this one has the spines very soft.

Rebutias flowers come in different colors.

Lovely bright orange flowers!! So beautiful!
