You could start a separate thread for flowering cacti. 
Your local cactus flowers- yellow, low to the ground?

Never caught them flowering I don't think, I always saw them while hunting. I believe though they are pink, but I will be out looking tomorrow for sure, my dog and I have a date!

If you can't find one, shuffle down the way a little, a little change of scenery or a view from a different angle may give you the insight you need.

A few assorted columnars. I'm going to ask ID help when I manage to take a few good individual shots. Someone here said "they're all mutts anyway"... I guess that's about it, but they're so pretty!

These are lovely. I started some from seed this year, hoping for some with long black central spines.
Oh? I think that's what I've got going on here:

I got this Trichocereus terscheckii a few months ago, somebody mentioned they might be freeze-resistant. And it's pretty, and it's really fierce.
But then I was reading they may be psychoactive? Is there a list of "cacti to look for"? I've seen a breakdown of alkaloid content for hundreds of species, that's not quite what I'm asking. I mean like a Top Ten list or something.

That is a nice one.It does look fierce.
I have always read they were active but I have no evidence or personal experience to base that on.

Awesome I recently got a cacti that looks almost exactly like this and mine is flowering! I will get some good pics tomorrow when there is some light! None of my cacti came marked with there names.... kinda a bummer...

Yours must be an Echinopsis probably a hybrid because terscheckii don't flower until they are much much larger.

I love my peyote. It's also the only cactus left from all the moving, my dad kicking me out, getting my own place, etc.. but it's enjoying itself under the sun outside and growing and flowering happily! Sometimes I get even 2 flowers at once and it seems to flower weekly. I'm really happy to have managed to keep it even though I lost a few other cacti I really liked 
Pics of it this morning:

 It looks small but it recently reached 7cm diameter!
Any idea how old it could be? I got it while it was much smaller and I've had it for a few years now I think.

Cholla flowers:

This morning's Mammilariae, before and after:

Mama Mamillaria elongata is going to explode with pups:

And these Trichocereus grandiflorus (hybrid) pups are pupping already, babies having babies:
