They used to be the only thing I could grow. I like cacti. Prickly on the outside, tending to plump up, yet inside they are full of surprises which occasionally come to public view in the form of gloriously scented beautiful flowers. Bit like me really.. Yeah, right..
The flowers in the picture are from the most ugly cactus, yet without fail it produces loads of these fabulous flowers every year. The bloom opens to the size of a tea saucer in the evening and fills the air with a heady perfume. Big is beautiful but short-lived, as the flowers only last a couple of days at most. On the plus side, the plant produces lots of them over a couple of months or so every year.
