With the warmer and sunnier weather, a lot of my cactus and succulents growing on my balcony have a been a lot happier. During the Fall and Winter there is not a whole lot of direct sunlight and along with the cooler weather the plants of course become somewhat dormant. But now in late Spring and with Summer right around the corner, my plants are starting to boom with growth. It's great to see this. I wanted to take this opportunity to show off some of my flower plants. Why not? :)
The first one is a type of crassula. I don't know the exact variety though. It's similar to a watch chain crassula which I also have some of but the flowers are very different. Watch chain crassula, as far as I know, have very tiny flowers that barely extend from the plant but the flowers on this crassula are rather beautiful and much larger relatively (while still on the small side). Check it out:

The next one I want to show off is some type of rebutia species. That unfortunately is as specific as the tag that came with the plant is. The flower is also on the small side (the plant is also pretty small) but it has a very deep and rich pink color. I probably need to repot this cactus soon too.

Lastly I want to show a cactus (I'm not sure the variety yet!) that is growing some buds. I can't wait to see the flowers when they bloom. I have no idea what color they're going to be at this point either. I need to try to do some research to identify this cactus. But in the meantime I'll enjoy watching the progress of these flower buds.

I hope to share more photos of my blooming cactus and succulents in the future. I'll also try harder to identify them at least with their type if not the specific variety. Look forward to it!
