got this little cactus for my daughter. Forcouple of days it actually had 3 of those flowers open, and she didn't take a picture!!!! Not sure what this cactus is called. @Yvonne G the flower structure looks like your Pipe Organ, only in pink.., does anyone happen to know what it's called? It looks kinda like Golden Barrel But the needles are thinner and it has tons of babies all around the base. I seem torecall there is a word "Rainbow" in it's name "Rainbow Burst"?....

It might be a type of echinopsis. Most cactus flowers are similar to each other.

Been potting pads of my latest spine-less opuntia project A little over 125 so far and still have some i can pot... I have 2 volunteer peach trees that I didn't know were peach trees until one bloomed last year. I got 1 peach from that tree. It was a small peach but very tasty. This year I have only 1 peach again from both trees.

What's the experiment/project Len?

Both very lovely!!! Who doesn't love the flowers of Echinopsis?

Here's what's new around our garden: Raspberries! Almost done; so close! They look delicious so far.



Strawberries are really coming in. Stevie tried a couple bites of one and I think he enjoyed it as he rarely gets fruit being a Russian tort.



I just thought this was funny. Hubby threw a couple cactus pads that he swears were brown into the compost bin. Turns out they just needed some nutrients. XD



I have more photos to post later but I still have homework looming. Boo! We went to 2 weddings this weekend so we're pooped and hot from this weather! It's been a while since we really got some rain so we've been keeping a special eye on our many plants.
