I knew, in the far reaches of my mind that cacti flower...a cactus can flower...there are such things as cactus flowers...whatever. But I've never actually seen one. And truth be told, I hate cactus! And I especially hate our cactus...
See there, right where the fence gets taller.
Well, about a week and a half ago we noticed these little thingies on it....
They were sorta fuzzy and wierd looking like the cactus coughed up a hairball or something. then they started growing these sorta pod looking things out of them....
Then they opened and turned into this...
The day I took the above picture, right afterwards I went to dinner. I was gone maybe 2 hours and when I came back, the flowers had gone from that to this...
They really are beautiful...coming from this awful, prickly, ugly plant. Amazing!
