One fine October morn, I stood staring up into the pine, watching the sun paint the limbs...
BOB! LOOK! 14 blooms. In 24 years we have never had night blooming cactus blooms after Sept 5th. the first two week of October, we had 14 and 10 the next day.
We think these late blooms are due to the wettest July in our history and the hottest October in our history...
While staring up at the blooms, my camera found something else... to be continued
Gorgeous cactus blooms.
ReplyDeleteLovely orange light in these... can't wait for the continuation!
ReplyDeleteCan not take my eyes off those cactus blooms! They are so different and amazing! Looking forward to the next post!
