Lilly Cactus has gone Bonkers!!!

[Aspenman]

My Lilly cactus had 1 blossom close to Easter and I figured that was it. NOPE!!!
When walking past it yesterday, I noticed more blossoms!
Of course I needed to count them!!!

17 IN TOTAL Y E S --- 17 BLOSSOMS!!!
As Frank would say, HOLY CRAP!!!

I doubt all 17 will bloom BUT whatever does bloom will be beautiful

Flowers are too complex for my 82 year old brain.
-although abstractly done perhaps

It's going to be amazing! I don't think I've seen one with this many blooms.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures!

I'm sure some buds will not bloom as the plant is old, we had it for 10 years in AZ and 7 years in NM and now for 9 years in Fl. I think it is old and tired this just might be its last hurrah!
I hope not as it is one of our family!!! We don't have kids ---- we have cacti!!!!!
