TXTortOwner said:One of my succulents, though not a cactus. First bloom since I bought it as a wee bitty plant in 2011.
Very nice, Ive got a bunch of succulents to and I just love them
Here is one of my favorites, These were graphed together

It's still cold here so all my plants are still asleep, but here are some from last year.View attachment 76767 View attachment 76769
Very nice colors, it should be warming up pretty soon we will have all kinds of good stuff blooming
Most of what I grow have yellow blooms, then white blooms,then some shade of purple. I have some that have never bloomed, would love to get a deep red bloomer.
I'm just a hop skip and a jump southeast of Washington DC and it gets very cold and wet here, I have found quite a few opuntia that will survive our winters planted in the ground with no protection from the cold, but no red blooms YET. I have some cholla's (spelling) that are doing fine but no blooms ,maybe soon, maybe red.@Len Im not sure where abouts you live but in most areas they have cactus and succulent society groups that have plant sales and they can tell you what kind of bloom you will get with whatever cactus you may purchase
