Cactus Blossom
I can't top Nords photos of his pineapple crop (did you eat that thing yet?), but I found this growing in the rocks next to my driveway today.

Re: Cactus Blossom
Nice picture. I have a lot of cacti and hope to get a bloom as nice as that one this year.
I think I need to fertilize them more often to get the blooms.
