Quite a few of the succulents and cacti in my garden has been flowering lately being that time of the year. This one doesn’t have what I would call regulation thorns, but rather long spiny ones. The little pink flower looked soft to the touch although I wasn’t willing to venture a finger in between the spines to find out what it feels like.
I wouldn't stick my finger in there either – very pretty though!
It's so delightful to see your cactus blooming while we're getting ready for the cold of winter.
I find the forms of succulents quite fascinating! I get a total thrill when mine flower – so often the flowers are soft and delicate, in contrast to the prickly plants.
