Cactus Flowers

It's the time of year that night bloomers start doing their thing. Kathy was upset when she heard a local park was open from 6 p.m. until midnight in anticipation of night bloomers. Given her health lately and my need to prepare for medical tests on Monday she was literally bummed.

Then, she went into the backyard about 8 p.m. and found this. She was very happy.

Say ahhhhhhh!

A chorus of three cactus flowers.

Two have openned while the third is being reluctant.

Why these cactus only bloom in the middle of the night is a good question. Perhaps they don't have sunglasses.

It took most of the night for the smallest bloom to open up.

Good morning...As the sun starts to make its presence felt the flowers are still blooming.
