Bishop’s Cap Flowers

Bishop’s Cap Flowers

Here we are with another “too many to count” flower eruption on my Bishop’s Cap Cactus. Bob and I bought this cactus when it was in a three-inch pot at a cactus nursery in Chandler, AZ, just before we got married. That would be about eighteen years ago, by my reckoning.

This cactus has always done well since we first put it in the patio in our California home. It is now here in the Arizona Courtyard and must (it seems) produce a hundred flowers each year, way more than it ever did on California.

I did not bother to count the number of this opening, but I can assure you that it is one of the larger flower counts in recent history of the Bishop’s blooms. Click on the image to enlarge.
