Cactus Flower

Cactus Flower,
originally uploaded by veggiejj.

Our poor, sad cactus who didn't weather the move to the new house last year well at all, bloomed last night. In it's prime, the 6 foot tall cactus would put out about 10 or so blooms. Now, the mere 2 foot tall cactus (the top of it died when we moved here) managed to put out one bloom. We're hopeful that this is a sign that the cactus is on the road to recovery.

This cactus blooms at night only and the bloom usually withers shortly after the sun comes up in the morning.
