Austrian Copper and Lady Banks bloom round the middle to end of April, but the rest of our roses don’t start blooming until well into May or even June. It’s cold at night and we can get killing frost up to the end of May.

Oh my… What elevation are you at? We have roses blooming now… But they don’t like that desert summer heat come June/July.

We are at 5000 feet, in a cold spot. We live right on the Rio Grande and cold air drains off the Sandias (10,600 feet) and cools our property. We tend to have the same temperatures as Santa Fe which is at 7000 feet plus. We are always 10 to 20 degrees colder than Albuquerque and areas around us after the sun goes down, which is wonderful on summer evenings, but hard on plants in fall and spring because we get early and late frost.
Gorgeous Nancy, the flower too. Have a blessed day. Miss you intensely.
Miss you too Sister-Friend!
Happy Easter Nancy! xo
xoxoxo right back at you Sweet Sue!
Happy Easter! Beautiful cactus lily!
Thank You My Friend! 🙂
Happy Easter Nancy!
Thank You So Much! And the same to you as well.
I have never seen Cactus Lily before, so beautiful and the lighting is great!
Happy Easter to you, too, Nancy! 🙂
Thanks, Nancy! Happy Easter to you and your family:)
Beautiful flower! Cactus doesn’t start blooming out here until round June and later.
Happy Easter… I am sure your roses are going to bloom soon!

That is one gorgeous flower!
It sure is! And soon there will be more!
I love those cactus flowers! I believe they are called Easter Cactus flowers too 🙂
This cactus will produce about 6-8 more flowers! They are glorious!
I’ve only been able to capture them once and that was in May of 2014 I think.
Well… Maybe you can come here in the Spring Next Time! And set up a shoot right here in my back yard! 😉
WOOT!!!!
What a beautiful bloom!!
Thank you! It really is spectacular!
