At least my star cacti
These have all bloomed since last Thursday
This one best shows the star shape of the plant from which the Genus name Astrophytum comes.
Astrophytum myriostigma, Bishop's Cap
They say this one is a little tough to grow other places. Here in the desert it's no problem child. This cactus and the one above only have a few soft spines at the growing tip that fall out quickly. They must not taste good to critters.
Astrophytum asterias, Star cactus
Unlike the others this one does keep its spines although they stay soft and pliable unlike most cactus spines.
Astrophytum capricorne, Goathorn cactus.
I have yet another Astrophytum about to bloom, but the flowers are nothing special.
