Cactus Blooms

I have several cactus in bloom in my backyard now. One of them has been working up
to opening all day. I have been watching that first huge bud swell and almost
grow visibly every time I walked by. The new bloom is 9″ across – bigger than
my hand at full spread. There are many more buds – this will be the best
year for flowers yet!
