A winter blooming cactus - Mammillaria Bombycina
Mammillaria Bombycina
See how they are all protected by the long spines ended up with very sharp hooks and smaller, gentler white ones? Proper bud protection!
I start to think she never goes for winter rest.
Cacti are so cool!

I lovd your photography of your beautiful cactus. I lovr cactuses
Me too!
Thanks for stopping by :)
Oh WOW you got some great shots of those flowers. What's cool is that the macro frames really show how delicate and lace like those petals are. I have a (quite larger - over 8ft tall) cactus that bloomed one flower several years ago. pure white and it bloomed in the middle of the night. I got up to see it before it wilted away. Soooo Beautiful. Never bloomed again. This small guy you have here is absolutely fantastic. Great color. Sort of calming and peaceful even though those sharp thorns are waiting to get me if I dare touch! hehe. Have a great rest of your day @ewkaw :-)
Thanks for sharing these!
Oh my! Those columnar cacti are harder to bloom I think. Also some need many many years to mature and be even ready to bloom! I have a few too, but never bloomed. Not as tall as yours though! I can imagine how gorgeous the flower must have been.
You can dare to touch, but be ready to be hooked :P
hehe.. so true! We had the cactus for about 10 years when it finally bloomed. Inherited from my aunt. She had it for probably 25 years or so before me! Never bloomed for her. Guess it like the room it was in. BEAUTIFUL FLOWER!!! I may do a post on it, but who knows when I'll get around to it, so i'll share a few pic's below...
Wow! The cactus is amazing! And the flower even better. Such a shame hey don't last long.
Your right. It is a shame.

Captivating macrophotos and an excellent, informative post! The blooms and buds are stunning! @ewkaw 🌸🌵🌸
Thank you Nina! They are tiny but so cute I cant resist them :)
Very beautiful photos!
Congratulations on blooming!
My Mammillaria are also blooming now :-)))
Will you show them?
Yes, I will expose, it is necessary that my son transfer photos and videos from the tablet to the computer.
On an old computer, I could do it myself, on a new one - my son does it.
