This cactus flowered this week. Admittedly in a slightly barmy way,
because there was a shelf above it, so it went for the glass. But
since it puts out only one flower for one day, and it's a stunning
flower, I thought I'd share it with you.

I don't have the patience to grow cacti. That's brilliant. Bet you're
tickled pink!

Oh, we are. But it's not so much patience as neglect. It sits in a corner of
the greenhouse and gets watered if I remember. We were given it about 4
years ago, the people next to our allotment had it, and it was sitting
totally waterlogged in freezing November rain.
