A 30 year wait and I miss it!!


I had a ball cactus for twenty years in a greenhouse and it never
flowered once. I brought it to France and leave it outside in a hanging
basket exposed to the elements (even forgot to bring it indoors Winter
before last) and now it has the most spectacular flowers. They are out
of proportion to the size of the cactus.
