Cactus Flower

Yesterday afternoon the children announced that a small cactus in our garden was about to flower.  On closer inspection it sure was!  I hadn't even notice that it had a bud on it before they mentioned it, oops!

7am

Flossy stayed up as late as she could manage to try to see the bud open but it wasn't quite open at her bedtime.  She was afraid it was a one night only flower as Nana & Poppy have a cactus that flowers for one night only and you wouldn't want to miss it, stunning!  She was up early and headed straight outside to see if the flower was still alive.  To her delight it was still alive and looking even better than it did last night!
