Nightmare gets better without me
So nightmare area number two (aka my cactus bed) has gotten much better...
...without any help from me!
The Opuntia macrorhiza is in bloom of course...
...but the bed itself is still pretty much a mess:
These blooms don't last long (just a day?) so I'm glad I didn't avert my eyes out of guilt when walking by this morning!
.
Cactus have such waxy flower petals that sometimes I think they aren't real.
Beautiful photos
Gorgeous! My Opuntia blooms are a few weeks behind this year...hopefully soon...
Oh, look! Cactus blooms are beautiful--I'm glad you caught sight of them.
Any nightmare is better with a few flowers! Glad your cactus is happy with it's blanket of leaves.
Fantastic flowers. I would't get too close to that Opuntia either, unless you are armed with a leaf blower.
Those are some of the most beautiful opuntia flowers!
