The Last Hurrah

Thelocactus 'bicolor'


Sometimes, I think I 'will' a cactus to bloom just in time for Bloomin' Tuesday. Nothing at all looks promising and just when I think I'll have to skip another BT post for lack of blooms, then pow. An unexpected cactus bloom--or two, in this case.

  10. Thanks. I hadn't even looked. I'll have to do that today. Lately I've been busy and not posting regularly or visiting Blotanical, so didn't even realize I was in the running for anything until last week.

  11. I don't have anything that blooms that beautifully. We are experiencing Autumn here and I pulled out my annuals yesterday. It was 40 degrees last night. I'll miss them. They are like friends.

    Congrats on your blog award!
