At last....

I've been watching and waiting for the little buds on this cactus to open. Not a spectacular colour or shape but special to me.

When we first bought this house, my husband knowing that I loved plants and that we would be away for months at a time went out and bought me two cactuses/cactii.

This is one of them. It has survived neglect, rain and drought. I've repotted it twice. Two years ago it flowered and this year it's covered in buds.

I think it needs repotting again.
