In the foreground is one of our two TBMs, or Trichocereus bridgesii monstrose, aka Penis Cactus. This one has been branching out quite a bit, and the other is growing his first cute little gonad! 🌵

This #cactus doesn't always look like this. It's been preened for a show but I didn't win any prizes so I took a photograph of it instead.

"Ladyfinger Cactus" by James DeFazio

Prints and much more available at: james-defazio.pixels.com/featu

A small cluster of Ladyfinger Cactus is placed in a textured metal pot, labeled "Flowers & Garden," resting on a tile floor. The overall tone of the photograph is warm and slightly desaturated, giving it a vintage feel.

Chopped up, thrown in with some almost ripe cherry tomatoes from the garden (prefer them vine ripe, but I am losing the battle with squirrels, mice, and rats so I'm harvesting whatever I can get before they do). 4/x #cactus #breakfast #nopal

Cut off the rest of the spines. I shave them off with a pocket knife in the garden. This variety of opuntia is pretty thornless. No idea what it is, it was a random cactus pad for free or on a sidewalk. 3/x #cactus #breakfast

THE FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED!

I wasn’t able to post these pics yesterday because of my computer problems. By Saturday morning, the Flying Saucer cactus flowers were fully open and it was a glorious sight.

Too many pics for one post, so I'll put some in a second post.

Three Flying Saucer cactus flowers fully opened at the top of the spikey green column of the cactus. The flowers are in a triangular cluster, two at the top, one at the bottom. The petals are rich, vibrant magenta-pink with yellow pistils at the center.
A single Flying Saucer cactus flower fully opened at the top of the spikey green column of the cactus. The flower is seen in profile, showing the long stalk that connects it to the cactus. The petals are rich, vibrant magenta-pink with yellow pistils at the center.

The baby cactus has one gorgeous flower of the same colors.

The progression of the Flying Saucer cactus flowers from this morning to this evening. The flowers are just starting to open. By tomorrow morning, they should be in their full glory.
