Wanted to share a photo of one of my cactus plants sprouting a bloom!!! This has never happened and I have had this plant for over 12 years!!! I just noticed it this morning. I'm not sure if it has opened up all the way earlier or if it is now past full bloom. Cool!!!!
It may not bloom for another 12 years, so if I were you, I would snap a bunch of memories with various light settings (this one looks a bit washed out) to get some fabulous shots; some close-ups too!
