Spanish Autumn

Two weeks into the wet season and everything needs a hack back.   We expected David, the Spanish tree surgeon, this week but he had to cancel due to the lashing rain.  This is the tangled mess of ngao trees, palms and false pepper tree that need sorting out

But would you look at this beautiful delicate cactus flower

We were given a cutting of one stalk last year from a fiery red hanging cactus plant.   What happened?  This is the most delicate shade of pink.
