Bud and bloom, flower
for a day, then sigh—
a man needs many cacti.

    Reminds me of a lotus flower, which lives in mud and water – and this is a cactus bloom? Beautiful! Sounds like it’s short-lived, just like our night-blooming Dragonfruit flowers. Enjoy while it lasts…:)

    Wow, a pink one? Have only seen white. Gorgeous.
    You guys need some epiphyllum….they will bloom much longer….

    I wish all blossoms were as grand as the ones cacti produce.
