Field Notes

Description:

These flowering cacti were given to us by our neighbour last year (his daughter "breeds" them) and after this picture was taken we transferred it to a larger pot. It looks like it will have a lot more flowers soon. Most cactus flowers only last a day or two. The flowers are perhaps 3-4cms across.
