The daughter has a small barrel (?) Cactus, variety unknown that has flowered for the first time today.

Cactus flowers are amazing.

Being a life long fan of cacti and being very young at the time.
I was highly disappointed with the movie Cactus Flower thinking at my young age it was a movie about cacti not a movie about people cheating on their spouses. :lol:
