These lovely cacti bloom once in the springtime and once again with the first monsoon rains.
The Christmas cactus in bloom in the office. It receives the afternoon sun so I guess part of it thought it was time to bloom. I hope to use the better camera later but felt it important to get shot while I was thinking about it.
I was walking through the dunes, on my way to the ocean, on Naval Station Mayport and I came across this cactus in bloom. It was beautiful and seemed fragrant.

Nipple cactus in bloom. This was growing under a mormon tea plant if I remember right, with tasajillo mixed in. I came away from shooting this full of thorns!

This large cactus was in bloom and was gorgeous. The bloom was about as big as a medium sized apple.
This was part of the private collection of cacti and succulents at Manor Nursery, Angmering, West Sussex. The collection was started in 1948. The nursery is now gone. The collection has been dispersed to various new locations.

An ephiphytic cactus relative that I like to use in containers to spill over the edges for flowering accent in winter. The flowers of these nicely complement the blooming spikes of the clumping Aechmea recurvata hybrid in the same pot, which keeps the intense red bract color for up to a year after it finishes blooming. The contrast in foliage and form also makes the arrangement interesting even when neither is blooming, and at this period, I usually add an annual Impatiens or Lobelia erinus for additional color.

I *thought* this might be Bergerocactus emoryi (Golden spined cereus), but that cactus gets smaller blossoms which grow close to the stem, so this is something else. I'm still trying to find out what...
Later research: possibly Cereus spp
