Flowering Cacti — Fan Of… #84

·

Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).

This week’s Fan Of… is flowering cacti.

These two cacti featured last year (Fan Of… #45). They had lots of flowers on them when my wife bought them for me; the blooms lasted a long time, but as with all flowers eventually wilted & died. For a long time nothing much happened, although a couple of flowers did materialise on the pinky-orange one in Aug. Through all this time, new leafs continued to sprout & finally, almost a year after they were in bloom, pretty much over night, they went crazy with flowers.

How To Join In

1. Create a Fan Of… Photo Post.
2. Add a link to your Fan of… blog post in my comment box or create a pingback by linking to my post.
3. Title your post Fan Of… or add Fan Of… tag.

Have a great week

    I’m jealous of your Christmas cactus, as we call them. Gorgeous! Mine is growing more but has never bloomed.

    Also… glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better.

    They are beautiful. I’ve seen plenty of pink ones, but not that orangey shade before. I hope you are feeling loads better.
