This is a BLOOMING LOVELY video Claire :-D so many stunning and BEAUTIFUL Cactus flowers, Grow lights really are so fantastic, I feel that Cacti and succulents grow and flower better under the Grow lights than in the windows in our climate, as Grow lights always give off full spectrum sunlight, but when we have cacti on the windowsills we don't enough sun in our British and Irish Summers even when we have them in a south facing window, and your beautiful cactus blooms are the perfect example of how grow lights work so well for cacti, thanks so much for sharing the beauty of the blooms with us Claire, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Sea for a wonderful evening XXXX

[@CactusCove]

Exactly true Lyn, grow lights are brilliant, I wonder now how I managed without them, I have such tiny window sills so it's hard to keep plants on them really but I make them fit! So it's great now I have the lights... one of my Lithops bloomed so amazingly under my new Niello grow light recently too, but yes our climate is just so temperate all the time 😆 thanks so much Lyn for watching and commenting and for supporting my channel 😊🌵🌞💚

It’s amazing how you can make your cacti flower even if they are indoors and growing with growlights. I find that parodias need heat to open fully. Your cacti all look so healthy. Congratulations on reaching your 1k subs! More power, Claire!

[@CactusCove]

Thanks, Ana 😊 I was pleased to have some cactus in flower, even if they didn't open wide... such ups and downs, with the temperatures, it's like it works against us at times 😄 I do get good results with those grow lights though, but yes it's that heat, as you mention, that's so important for certain genus. Thank you for your support of my channel, much appreciated!🤗🌵🏜🌞🪴

So cool! Glad that you did the variegated with the pink gymnos crossing and got a fruit😃👍💕!

[@CactusCove]

Thanks for watching & commenting 😊🌵 just happy I got even one fruit out of so many gymnocalycium flowers that bloomed but didn't set fruit😄

[@Cactimania]

Awesome video, Claire 😊 Shame the Gymno flowers didn’t open fully, but I’ve found they do like a lot of heat for them to fully open. Hopefully you’ll get some variegated offspring with the one that was successful 😁 Thank you for sharing with us as always, Claire. Have a wonderful evening from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜

[@CactusCove]

Thank you, Daz 😃 it would be nice if some variegated little Gymnocalycium seedlings came of those seed, what a lovely surprise it would be 😄 thank you for watching,commenting and for your support! 😊🌵

[@PurpleandThorns]

Wow you had so many in blooms. I love your loph so pretty. All of them have beautiful flowers. Well done on the time lapses, love watching them opening up. Hope next year that Spegazzinii will flower fully for you. Most of my Spegazzinii flowers really doesn’t open fully. Most of mine open half way only during the hot summer days. That’s amazing that mihanovichii doesn’t like the other but of the variegated only haha. Soon you’ll have loads of variegated seedlings. 💚🌵

[@CactusCove]

Thank so much Katherine for watching and commenting 😁🌵💜 Now I have a more powerful grow light, it will be great to see what difference it has on the cactus plants on the shelf. I will keep the spegazzinii under that new grow light, so maybe it might open more next year, hope so, but its gorgeous either way and love that cactus you gifted me 😊 ...its so funny, I thought the same about those G. Mihanovichii cactus, it liked only the pollen from the variegated one!!!🤣 I will definitely try again next year though and cross pollinate, if they flower again 😄

[@kaktus_cactus]

Lovely blooms, esp astro and lophophoria. Congratulations on you 1k subscribers!!!-well deserved, well done:)

[@CactusCove]

Thank so much Magda! Thanks for your support! 😁🌵🌞💚

[@Oldaccount464]

Well organized and labeled

[@CactusCove]

I use a handheld Brother label printer for most plant labelling, resistance to uv light so they don't fade 😁 Thank you for watching 👍🏻🎄☃️🌵

[@morrisparkintheozarks6831]

Love your astros!!! The only one I have is the purple asterias that Daz & Edith sent me. I had 4 myriostigmas in a pot but root mealies got them before I knew it. I will try to get another this spring! Love the gymnocalycium spegazzinii!! Katherine sent me one also😀👍!! Beautiful lophophora!! I think most Notocactus have been moved to parodia now. Like Notocactus ubelmannias. Now parodia werneri. Sorry I missed this video! My old phone doesn't always give me notice. I have a new one, but won't get it set up till this weekend. You have some awesome plants Claire!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to the U.K. , have a wonderful day!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌺🌴🌻🌲🌹🌳🌷🌿🌸🍀💐😀👍

[@CactusCove]

Thanks so much for watching, Clyde! 👍🏻😁🌵🌞🏜 Astrophytum are definitely cactus that die easily, and have a habit of going very much unnoticed until way too late, especially internal rot, and also when attacked by the mealies too, I've a had a few slow deaths from both situations on otherwise healthy looking Astrophytum. I find it's very hard to know when buying these cactus whether you are getting a dying cactus to begin with, and it's pot luck! Good luck with your new phone, Clyde!😊😊

[@andrewmckay9555]

Lovely vid, yep Gymno's are notorious for throwing buds, I feel your pain lol ;)

[@CactusCove]

😄 Yes they are certainly, thank you for watching and commenting 😊🌵

[@gcarson]

Lots of great blooming this year! It's unfortunate when the weather doesn't cooperate though and they decide not to open.

[@CactusCove]

I've had so many flowers refuse to open, perfect weather for bud formation, then as usual the weather changes 😄 ...but so pleased I had some flower indoors especially, thanks so much Gabrielle for watching & commenting 😊🌵

[@LESCSSORG]

[@CactusCove]

[@Rabidscruffy]

@@CactusCove I tried correcting it but it just won’t have it 😂 I was sure you’d know what I meant though 🥴😂

[@CactusCove]

@@Rabidscruffy yes 🤗

[@Rabidscruffy]

@@CactusCove I did look on eBay to see if there were any, as I think I may have to get one 😁😂
