Apparently my cactus plant likes all this hot dry weather we are having here as it suddenly showered me in blooms. Usually it maybe has two or three blooms a year, but nothing like this before. The flowers open up around midnight and by noon the next day they are finished. You have to be there to see it or take a picture.

A Night Blooming Cirrus. Very nice. You can take cuttings after it stops blooming and start new ones. Fairly slow growing.


That's interesting Greg. How do I do that? Do you mean cut off the blooms and plant them? I wouldn't mind trying a few if I knew how to do it.

Here are some more shots around my back yard. We had a beautiful spring. Unfortunately, it is gone. Supposed to be over 100 degrees by Tuesday.
