but it was really a plethora of buds! These cactus are part of the landscaping on the corner of Ray and Val Vista in Gilbert, AZ. There were so many buds that I thought there was a fungus growing on them. But, when I went back with my camera and long lens, it was just a myriad of buds. And, by then some of the flowers had opened and the bees were almost drunk with pollen!
Quite honestly, I don't know what kind of cactus this is. They aren't saguaro, I know that!

Thank you. But I have to correct the idea that these are "before and after" shots. They were taken all at the same time, just different arms and different cactus. There are about 10 cactus on that corner, and each one has several arms. They are flowering at slightly different rates.

Probably not! They'd burst from overwatering. You guys have that natural watering system, right? Comes from the sky?
