I have been watching the “monster” cactus hanging outside from a tree and its four buds. Two are almost open. They should make it before it gets too cold for the plant and we have to bring it in for the season. It really does not like the cold too much. Two buds that are just emerging will probably not make it but the other two will. I am absolutely thrilled we will have flowers from the plant. When we bought the plants months ago it had multiple flowers. They were gigantic several inches wide and tall. These probably won’t be that big. I think my wife bought the plant to spoof me. Its tentacles hanging from the tree are several feet long. I have never seen anything like it before.

The greatest discovery I made today was my “monster” cactus hanging from a tree outside had two buds near the ground. Its tentacles are several inches wide and over three feet long. When my wife bought the cactus months ago, it was flowering. I have been examining the gigantic cactus every day. Each day the two buds grow larger. I don’t think these flowers will be as large as the ones last spring, that were four or five inches wide and three or four inches long. And four days later I spotted two more buds, this time near the top of it just emerging. It is going to be a race to fall. And the colder weather. Let us see how many flowers will emerge before we have to bring the cactus in the house?
