    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.

    This week’s Fan Of… is flowering cacti. I’ve featured cacti before in the series, but I bought these two the other day and thought they were fully deserving of their own post.
