Silver Arrow #2 to bloom!

The first two pictures are of my second Silver arrow cacti to bloom. Smaller than the first (last picture) which has already bloomed. I was so excited to see the first one bloom! They rarely bloom in captivity. But now a couple months later I find my other one to bloom! Exciting! I still am not sure of the age. More information on the silver arrow cacti and its info to be posted soon!
I've been tracking the progress of my silver arrows bloom.

  My First Flowering Cacti in Captive.

Which if you've had the pleasure as a cacti owner, in my studies it says its rare to see such a sight and exciting too!

What it means
You're doing the right thing! Giving it enough Light and water, etc etc!!
