nightblooming cactus
P r e t t y i n W h i t e !
Daniel said, “Look at this! This is rare”. My sister’s little cactus sprouted such a big flower! Daniel took some snaps of it. I gathered my sister would love to see how her cactus is doing. I don’t think I have been doing a good job tending it…practically left it to survive on its own !!
There it is … close up
I found out that this particular species is referred to as night blooming cactus, among other names. It is well known for its blossoms that bloom just one night a year. When morning comes, that’s it! the show is over! What a strange thing! We were lucky to have to have witnessed it still in bloom the next morning! (Please send me a message if my details are inaccurate)
To think the bloom is just for one night, this cactus must be special. Nature certainly holds some strange secrets.
