Never seen a flower blooming cactus before, let alone in the winter
beautiful!
Yep, it sure is. There are several species that have flowers but even fewer that have leaves, which eventually fall off. I remember for an episode of the educational cartoon ‘Hey Buster’, Buster a rabbit that travels around the world goes to a Mexican desert where the locals show him how to make rope from a cactus!
Some cacti take years and years to produce flowers. These are really interesting plants!
I got to find one, the colors are just amazing
Andy, I don’t know where you live but I’ve asked around and found out that they’re commonly found in the nurseries in most general stores in the United States.

It really is, I’ve always imagined cacti all being plain boring, prickly desert plants, looks like I was wrong after all
