Cactus flower.

Wow what a lovely bloom!

I've sown some more seeds this year. They are just beginning to germinate. They take years before they flower. This fella has been with me for over ten years.

A really worthy gift after ten long years of friendship.Does it have sweet smell Jay? How long does the bloom last?

Unfortunately, the bloom does not last for long, about 2 or three days once it is in full bloom. But you can see the bud for a good couple of weeks and you know that you will have a flower.

Yeh Jay, that quite an assurance.
