Cactus Flowering Days April 15th-25th
Too many flowers! I don’t think you can imagine delicate, brilliant cactus flowers in masses of so many thousands they look like tulip fields in Holland. April 15th-25th, Waterwise Botanicals is presenting the spectacle of “Cactus Flowering Days”.
Worth coming from anywhere in the nation to see! Bring your cameras! Bring your eyes! Tom Jesch, developer of our flowering cactus line, will schedule and host many guided, narrated walks through the entire growing area.
2 FREE tours available daily Monday-Saturday 9am and 1:30pm.

Cactus Blossoms and Springtime Spring is a season for renewal after Winter. Flowers start to bloom, and Easter is celebrated with Easter Eggs and Chocolate Bunnies. We begin to garden again; fashion trends start to go from dark to light and bright. Here at Waterwise Botanicals, we have ‘Cactus Blooming Season’ filled with the awesome, large Cleistocactus Blooms, which are huge and stunningly beautiful. Spring to me refers to “a new beginning”, flowers blooming, birds singing, days are brighter and longer, and colors explode. Dark turns to Dawn and all things are new and fresh. What a perfect time to enhance your landscape, plant a garden (flower or veggies) or both! Its also a great time to start a new hobby or habit…walking, biking, working out at a dance class or gym. It’s time for adding a freshness to your life. For instance, you could buy yourself some flowers, start a new novel, give someone you love a gift for no reason, or take a Painting or Ceramics class, go for a drive to somewhere new, shop at a different store, draw pictures for or with your kids or grandkids. The list can just go on and on. I guess we all need a time to blossom. Maybe this Spring it the perfect time for us to bloom and grow too…after all, soon the birds will be making nests, and we will be seeing Butterflies and Bees. Here’s to blue skies, lemonade, new adventures, sandy toes, long drives, new talents, Butterflies, and visits to see Waterwise Botanicals. Don’t forget our Free Succulent Saturdays, including vendors, food, fish feeding and fun. Welcome Spring! Jackie Jesch Waterwise Botanicals
