Re: One month late

Seems as if it needed warm and sunny .... buds have sat for a month in cold overcast.

And then there's a bright object in the sky .....

Which has spurred a cactus into flower. Never mind ... cold and damp and back normal tomorrow to find rotting plants.

Thanks Ed
Better than some of the cactus. They've not liked this variable cold wet windy. Started to find poorly plants as I'm continuing with the repotting and sorting before the seed sowing (weekend?)

Lovely surprise to find this open. A touch of late afternoon sun was all it needed.
