Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

My “monster” cactus in my den has its first flower. It is completely pink and measures from its tip of the stem to the flower six inches. The flower will last a day or two and then wilt. Such beauty! And now there will be two more flowers. And I will watch their development carefully.

The last day of summer the “Monster” cactus bloomed.  I was thrilled about this.  The pink flower was five inches in diameter.  It has one more bloom to go.  When we bought it home months ago, it was blooming all over it.  I never had a cactus bloom on me.  It must have liked the sun it received in that spot.  Its tentacles hanging from a tree are several feet long.  It truly is unusual.  If I remember correctly, she bought it for my birthday (in April).  She was amazed by it, as I am by it now.

Two days ago my “monster” cactus bloomed outside.  It has tentacles that are four or five feet hanging over the side of the pot.  We bought it with several two buds on it and with two flowers.  We knew it liked the spot we put it in outside for the two buds did not dry up.  When it flowered, again, the entire width of the unfurled pink petals was five inches.  Inside, one single white flower protruded–God’s handiwork!  I never saw such a gigantic pink flower on a cactus.
