So happy I started my cacti collection 8 years ago. I've seen countless blooms like these in my own backyard.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful beautiful!
@1:56, cartoon character 🙃
It's always amazed me how some cacti can go through such a huge effort to produce flowers that are so immense in comparison to the overall size of the plant.
hebneh Cactus never cease to amaze, they are the products of a beautiful evolutionary history and are very underrated.
And live such a comparatively short life!
Yeah the reason behind that is that theres often a low population of insects where cacti live so they have to be really outstanding
Frailea phaeodisca. Look that up. Flower is bigger than the actual cacti. The cacti is smaller than the end of your thumb after 3 years I have several of them.
Cactus: Who’s ugly now
Lol sales are going to sky rocket !
🤣🤣
Me: the artificial flowers
haha true!
Lol cacti aren't ugly there are some very beautiful cacti out there.
There's just something that's so satisfying about this!
Except the soundtrack is plain annoying.
So beautiful! Cacti are amazing...
Terminal Passage please
??
Agree
yes , the flowers of cacti are so beautiful , i have also over 50000 cacti hybrids in my greenhouse :)
Πολη ωραια η καχτη μου αραισουν πολη
Wow. This makes me want to have a cactus collection.
John Steinbeck You should start a collection, they are very rewarding plants and you’ll soon find yourself always saying “there’s always room for one more” start with some Mammillaria cactus or Echinopsis.
Ive always wanted to start one and never have time for it.
@@keeratisatian not late, everyday is a chance. Im Lucky, because I have so large roof and also so many cactus collection. Tryyy... 💓❣️💙🙏🙏
@@muratbarankelekidou6937 lucky you.
@mohit bagga all i can do is bake rn, lol.
Can we just agree that nature is fucking amazing
Agreed.
......in actual the Creator is amazing ......He is awesome.🤲🙏

Thank you!

I have to wait 90 days to change my name the Bible is perfect and never changes
I have one of those catus that blooms once a year, just bloomed last week, it's been blooming for the last 14 years. The flowers are beautiful.
And to think that some companies glue on fake flowers to get sales, makes me mad.
I know right!!
@@max-hz9io even worse when they jab a fake flower into the cactus on a spike.
@@consciousqueen7187 How?
@@consciousqueen7187 That's annoying, hopefully it will flower again soon!
Yup. I tear them off when I see them at the store.
This is so hypnotizing!
Indeed!
When watching a video about cacti, I can't help but feel amazed and in awe of their wild beauty. Cacti with their rough branches and delicate leaves exude life and toughness of the desert. I feel like I'm drawn to their resilience and uniqueness.
It's fascinating to know that cacti can survive in some of the harshest conditions on earth, where water is scarce and humidity is low. They can also exist in dry and sandy environments. This shows that life can thrive in places where we think it's impossible.
Witnessing the uniqueness and vitality of cacti makes me feel impressed and more respectful of nature. We need to preserve and protect their habitats so that they can continue to exist and flourish in this world.
We have these where I live in New Mexico. It's a treat to see them bloom for all of 2 to 3 days. But the same plant will bloom multiple times over the season, so if you miss one bloom there will be another to enjoy.
my cactuses did bloom today
Wow
cacti
cool story, bro. i would like to learn more
nice
Me too
This is so much more satisfying to me than the hot knife vids
hahahaha ofcourse.. me too i watch that channel
I forgot that was even a thing 😭
Aww...one of my best friends just sent me the link to this video as an early and perpetual Mother's Day celebration. Isn't that tremendously thoughtful?!? Thanks so much for sharing!! Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms out there. Keep smiling! ☺️
Its almost like fireworks :)
Disabler yeah. Lightning is like fireworks too.
Mars Rover vary vary slow fireworks
I agree with that

Whoever matched the music is a genius. Congratulations to the anonymous hero.
An absolutely stunning display! Gorgeous at 1080p on a 27" monitor! Cacti have some of the most spectacular blooms in nature, and these plants are, themselves, remarkable specimens!
In my opinion, the prettier flowers are from cactuses
Ayden Schwartz Why the need to compare? Just appreciate the variety? I wonder if it’s a reflection of our competitive society?
Cacti, not cactuses :3
Ha Nguyen both is correct
Anonymous User um no, the plural is cacti not cactuses
Cacti are beautiful, but what are cactuses though?
And then the cactus said
"Don't you understand
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice
But hug my flower with your eyes"
Akshay Puradkar Beautiful quote, where is that from?
it's a song called Tree Hugger by Kimya Dawson
Rose: "Am I joke to you?"
@@aeranaguilar2625 yes
"Deep"
I love when they open up all together at the same time 🌺🌹
Probably the most beautiful thing i've seen in my whole life this is very awesome
Wow...absolutely stunning. Nature is truly amazing.
Cactus so beautiful and cute!
I don't know which is more beautiful.... my wife or the cacti lol
lol 🌵🌵🌵
Sir, I think you should be saying your wife! 😂
@@skykrystal2413 Or sofa is the only option for night...
I can not answer this, but what I hope is, that your wife’s beauty will not fade so quickly.
Cacti
Cacti flowers are so beautiful
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
16 people actually disliked this? Cactus haters. Cactus Lives Matter!
Those people are pricks
eggrollsoup pun city
Richard Pointer but im sure they'll get the POINT
It was probably just the music

So mesmerizing! And the 'Cacti in Order of Appearance' at the end is so cute, it's like the cacti are tiny movie superstars 🖤
So nobody gonna talk about the music!!?? It's slamming!! It's like the cacti flowers are dancing 😂😂😂love ittttt cool video
Yea. I came to the comments to find the song. What song is this?
Chin swee sunset
It's a dope song. It's by O$P$. I found out about them (?) from this video.
Awesome flower time lapse! Cactus flowers are amazing.
This is one of the most mesmerizing things I've seen.
More of these kinds of videos Nat Geo, please.
Beautiful to see these in time-lapse. Thank you.
So much energy expended by the plant to produce these flowers, yet they only last for one day. That one day must be incredibly important and, hopefully, productive.
Makes me wonder if it's a good thing when people say you've bloomed into a beautiful flower. It's all down hill from there
@@yeru737 LOL!! I guess I never looked at it that way. Kinda depressing, now that I think about it. 🥴
I can not express enough how fascinating, and amazing it is to witness this beauty.....I am awe-struck by it
One of the most satisfaying videos I’ve ever seen
Very beautiful cacti flowers this my favorite post
So special, as they only bloom for a day. We are on “cactus flower watch” all spring/summer!
I had no idea that they can bloom flowers. I am so excited to see if my recent cacti collection I started collecting will bloom one day. Never had an interest in them until recently when I started bringing in more plants to give life to my balcony with flowers, greenery, herbs and now cacti's to add to the mix. I just love collecting the pots they can be placed in and fell in love with the idea of collecting cacti's which I never knew could be so additive.
beautiful
WOWSERS! absolutely BREATHTAKING BEAUTIFUL timelapse :-) thank you so much for sharing XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon I’ve been looking through comments here and giving advice and info to people, I even encouraged one user to start a collection and used your phrase of “there’s always room for one more”, great to see you here appreciating it as well.
I never imagined they could bloom this beautiful til this was on my recomendations 🌵💐

Alexis Schlenk They are cultivars (types) of the Echinopsis cactus
nice
6 people dislike nature apparently
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL
I don’t like when the dying part is shown! ☹️
So all of these flowers close back up?
music is my life If successfully pollinated, all flowers close up and dry as the ovary swells to form fruit. If not pollinated, the flowers dry and fall off of the plant.
d a r k n e s s Every cactus fruit is edible, as well as every cactus’ flesh.
AtoZ Botanicals wow you learn something new everyday
I think we r graaceful for our eyes nd also for our attraction not only for bloming flowers . Thanks a lot for the only creater who makes all the creation.
Beautiful colors !
2019?
Btw, what cactus have a flower?
All cacti can bloom once they are fully mature. Some grow flowers more then others.
Gorgeous!! And what's the name of the song please??
+Joyce C darude- sandstorm
+Kody Looked it up but that's a different song than this one.
try the remix maybe
+Joyce C "Chin Swee Sunset (feat. Van Detta)" by Owe Money Pay Money (O$P$)
It's properly attributed on the original cactus video. th-cam.com/video/d7APygE-Q44/w-d-xo.html and they have a TH-cam channel th-cam.com/channels/MFUzQ9jWr7IK9BTBMccTMQ.html if you're interested.
For shame Nat Geo!

Cacti have always been my favorite plants!
Beautiful!

Edriss Rassuli He isnt real, these plants are
Its the luckiest time in the rest of
my life to see all your clips... thks...
God bless you pl.
Most beautiful flowers
God's hand at work for our enjoyment.
Please stop bringing religion onto the internet
Has nothing to do with god
eggrollsoup Fvdsyhsygeyhdt What? Why?
IUNAL Giumali Yes it does. In Genesis it says He created the heavens and the earth. If you believe in God, this has everything to do with Him.
He also created diseases, tsunamis, earthquakes, carnivores...
They all have the same flower...just different colors!! Awesome 👌.
Beautiful and magical
I like this flowers so much .
STUNNING !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you........
