Tiny cactus flowers
This is a very special cactus to me. A couple of little tiny pieces, the size of the tip of my pinky finger, were taken from a 6-inch plant of my mother’s in Florida after she passed away in 2003, and each eventually rooted and became a plant itself. The great thing about this particular cactus is that the spines are curved so that you can touch it, lightly, and not get stuck. Each plant now has “fingers” the size of my thumb, and this morning I was shocked to see it blooming! And do you see all the little buds on it?
I love this cactus and its surprising flowers and am calling this my Best Post of the Week.

What a beautiful cactus. I would call it my best day of the week. These plants are blooming so rarely by us, that it’s holiday when they do.
About the video: if you can’t watch this video than you can’t watch any from youtube.
It is common knowledge that Firefox doesn’t support flash player, never did, though it’s the best browser otherwise. Each browser needs a different version of flash player, but G. Chrome has its own, inbuilt one.
Wow! You seldom see cacti in flower, other than in their natural habitat! These little flowers are gorgeous!!
Oh thank you for the picture. It’s adorable. I saw the mother plant bloom a few times, but I wasn’t sure our bitty babies would ever recover enough from me keeping them in a paper bag for 7 months to forgive us and bloom.
When you consider they’ve had 7 or 8 years to get over the shock . . .
I love the history of your little tiny cactus plants. Look at all those buds! stopping by for SSS. blessings, k I’m #63 :o)
I love cactus flowers! They are beautiful and unique..
What great macro!
The needles design look like bursts of firewoks. Nice shot.
I’ve never seen these bloom. I think it’s your mama visiting.
Hi there! Do you happen to know what kind of cactus this is? I have a similar one and am trying to look up some more information on it so I can grow it well (I have a notoriously black thumb…) Thanks!
