BLOOMING FOR A DAY

I meant to show you these at the time, but I forgot..  I'm forgetting a lot of things lately.










It was a scruffy,  tired looking cactus that a friend gave us.   One of the leaves grew and grew, produced a green egg-shaped end, which suddenly blossomed into this beautiful flower.     I had no idea such a plain looking plant could produce something so wonderful.   I'm told that if we let the plant rest up against a tree, the leaves will attach themselves and eventually we'll have a flowering cactus growing up the tree.
