Hedgehog Cactus Watch 2018

Anyone have any good bets on when the Hedgehog Cactus might be flowering on Sutton mt this year?

Never quite managed to get there at the right time (yet)!

Thanks.

I was just thinking about those guys last night. Two years ago, they bloomed in Central Washington in late April, but that was a CRAZY spring. I'm guessing it'll be May this year.

Not sure about Sutton, but I visited Spring Basin today and found many flowering there.

For what it's worth, they were blooming on the summit of Sutton when we visited on May 28 last year: https://www.oregonhikers.org/forum/view ... hp?t=25484
