It depends upon the particular cactus. For example, the old man cactus [Cephalocereus senilis] reaches a mature height of 50 feet/15 meters. It may mature to an age of around 200 years. It's slow growing. So it doesn't flower the first 20 years of its existence.

The length of time of the flowering depends upon the particular cactus. Cactus plants need moisture in order to flower. That's why cactus plants tend to burst into bloom after one of the rare desert rain events. The bloom may last a day, a night, or a couple of days. And sometimes it may not happen at all even under the best of circumstances. In fact, it's one of the perilous possibilities of container grown cactus plants.

No, it blooms every season as long as it is healthy and has good growing conditions.

Most bloom only once per year but a few may bloom more than once. It depends on the particular species.
