070701 - First Cactus Flower


This cactus flower came into full bloom in the summer, 2007, without being noticed for several days.

The cactus itself is a surprisingly small plant and sits in a container, which spent a year and a half mostly hidden under a massive Pacific Giant delphinium.

I think I actually gasped the day I was plucking dead delphinium leaves off the Pacific Giant and stumbled upon this flower.

The cactus has since been moved to a more prominent location in the gardens.
