Better get used to seeing beautiful cactus flowers, because it is the season for it. This is a flower that opened today o the Lawyer’s Tongue Cactus on the west side of our yard along the fence. We planted this cactus from a fallen pad we found in a park in town, and it has done extremely well since it was in a pot in the patio to (now) on the west side in the ground.
I counted over fifty flower buds on this cactus – there were only nine last year – and I expect to have most of them open and to get them imaged in the camera. Click on the image to enlarge.
