Depends on the flowers. The small flower ones(matudae and oaxaca-I'll need to get a pic of matudae up as it is really cute looking) can bloom for weeks on end. Meanwhile, the big flowered ones the flowers only last 3 days at most. Thats why I take photos of them
The smaller flowers close at night and open in the morning. The large ones start opening sometime in the evening and then are fully open when you wake up in the morning. After being fried by the sun for some time they keel over.
All the cacti we've got here are blooming or have bloomed this year. I don't do much for them-just put them in an area where they get lot of intense sun-put them in 50/50 playsand/soil, and let them go bone dry and then flood them when I feel sorry for them.
Look at it this way Alphawolf: Their are plenty of things I'd like to grow or have tried to grow that didn't survive very long because they were fried to a crisp by the sun/heat here. Use what you've got!
Then again, those cacti are for sure going to hang on until you move to a sunny place.
