My tiny cactus in flower

I have been eyeing the tiny flower bud on my little cactus for some weeks and at last it has produced this beautiful bloom ! What a shame the flowers are so short lived !
A mixture of a day - with a few light showers but nothing to really moisten the ground !

I have one similar to this - some cactus blooms last longer than others - I get so excited when I see the buds then again we I see they have opened
