…And this time they mean business…
That wonderful giant cactus plant in the back garden has done its trick of suddenly producing a host of lovely large flowers again. (Click to enlarge photo, and see below for links to earlier years’ posts on the very same phenomenon).
I saw them Tuesday morning, and I think they’ll be gone very soon (by Wednesday or the day after).
So lovely, so massive… and so sad that they last for so short a time.
But such is life. Enjoy and revel in things while they last, and then move on, holding the essence of it close inside you.

Lovely! You can grow them indoors. I have a red variant on this “cactus” and I really love it–mine blooms in my solarium in the early spring in North carolina.
So pretty! Unfortunately, they wouldn’t fair well in the midwest either though.
Thanks!
Sorry to hear the UK weather was a bit down on the flowers this year… 🙁

Ditto the above!
Lovely! I’ve had hardly any flowers this year, thanks to the truly grim British summer of 2012.
Wonderful!
