First Flowers of Year.
First cacti are just starting flowering for me this year. Here is Turbinicarpus schmiedickianus ssp. rubriflorus:-

Pot size 2.5" (6.5cm) which means it is about 4X life size on my 24" monitor!. A bit of a mixture of genera are first to flower with me, the Turbinocarpus and some Mammillaria's although other genera are showing buds. It can vary year to year which of the early flowerers manages to be first.
My plants have only had one watering a week or so ago after their winter rest. They will probably get their second tomorrow. I usually wait until I see signs of new spine growth before first watering and they seem to be late starting this year.
Of course I run an unheated greenhouse, so I am behind with my first flowering to those who heat through the winter, though mine catch up later with the later flowering plants.
