The cactus flower, stem and roots retain scarce water better than any other plant in our summer garden, and looks lovely when the other flowers and leaves hang dryly and dismally. But a weekly hose spray can make sure the cactus beauty lasts even longer :)
That is just beautiful Janice. Such a pretty colour & obviously likes it where you have placed it. Are you tempted to try to strike a cutting from the side of it - I know I would be.
Oh I love that cactus flower. My favorite color is lavender.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a propeller and my mum would have loved that colour, she was a fan of pastel shades. I prefer stronger and deeper tones.
ReplyDeleteCactus flowers are always so pretty. We have several in our sunroom that flower.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cactus flower - nested propellers even.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful flower.
ReplyDeleteCacti blooms are always especially beautiful. Maybe it's because of their contrast to those dangerous-looking spikes...
ReplyDeleteWell, the cactus likes the heat, but I am not sure how many humans over there concur. We’re in yet another hot spell too. TG for AC.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely flower
