Beautiful. Do your cactuses bloom every year, Hywel?

Usually they do, but sometimes one might take a year out :o)
This one has never flowered before, so I think it must have reached it's maturity now ... I hope it will flower every year from now on.

I hope so too. It is beautiful.

It certainly is.......just put ours outside for a drink as it is pouring with rain, not sure if I am doing the right thing though?

They like a drop of rain. It keeps them feresh.
Let them dry off afterwards though.
When I didn't have so many, I used to put them out if there was a thunder storm lol ...

Sometimes I buy plants just for their names too lol.
I can't remember where I bought this.

Hello Hywel, its very special kind of cactus flower, and its nice to be back here, missing all the Goyers so much:-))

Thanks for the advice........ they had a really good watering.

That's good :)

(by the way, that word in my comment should have been 'fresh' ... I didn't realise I'd put an extra e in lol)

No problems, if I use the tablet instead of my pc all sorts of words are used, and if I do not check what I have written, well, anything goes!
