Day 112: My Favorite Cactus

Blooming Cactus

This is my favorite cactus. Can you see why? Look at those blossoms. They’re beautiful aren’t they? It’s a night bloomer. So it opens at night and lasts for about 24 hours or so. And that’s it. It starts closing up and all the glorious beauty is gone until the next blooms open up.

Big Flowers

See how big they are?
