My cactus in bloom
Look what I found in bloom this morning. Is it not gorgeous. Such a big bloom on such a small cactus. It only flowers for one day, but it still is really pretty.
It produces several flowers a year.

That is a huge huge bloom for such a small cactus! A shame that it only lasts a day, I think that I'd bring it to work to enjoy all day! Are cactus blooms fragrant?

Well this one is not fragrant. I dont know about the other ones, but I don't mind I just love the bloom.
It's something else than only Vanda's.

Thanks guys. It sure is very pretty. I only need to repot it. Than it can get much bigger, and also more blooms.

Yes is it not lovely. It is very different from orchids, but not less pretty.

Thanks Tristan. I did say before that it was not fragrant, but I just noticed it is. I guess it has to do on what time of the day it is. It has a very sweet smell.
