A little sunshine in a covid 19 spring

This whole Covid 19 mess has taken it's toll. Our store has been shut down for nearly two months, but I did manage to get some overdue projects done.
Never the less it does get a little depressing being stuck at home. The other day, I was having a melancholy moment when I peered out into our backyard.

The little barrel cactus I rescued a couple years ago and posted about, sprouted a bright yellow flower.
I figured somewhere during it's life, it might bloom, but I had no idea when or what color the flowers might be.

It brought smile to my face and brightened my day!

At 5:20 pm our grandaughter came home and we took her out to see it, but it closed for the night.

Could be Echinocereus dasyacanthus. It's absolutely beautiful!

Thank you. I'm not very knowledgeable on plants. As I had mentioned in a previous blog; I was on a field trip with some club members, when I saw this poor helpless baby cactus laying on the ground. I looked like it had been somehow uprooted. I knew if I didn't get it in some dirt, it would dry up and die. So I found a coffee cup in my van, put some dirt in it, then planted it until I got home. Once there I planted it in our yard. I wasn't sure it would make it it, but it did. Now you see the result. Thanks again for the info.

Wow! So glad you helped him. Now he is thanking you :)
Hope he blooms for you for many years to come!
