The time is upon us for our many cactii to produce their beautiful, albeit short-lived, blossoms. This pair of buds atop one cactus looked to me like an alien creature peering at us through its eye stalks. Don’t worry though, these awkward little buds will mature into a couple of very beautiful, delicate and fragrant nocturnal flowers. Just watch out for the needles.
I’ll be sure to get many more photos of these beautiful flowers and post the best ones here throughout the cactus flower season.
