    How interesting. I would have thought you got way too much rain for cacti. But what do I know? (Don't answer that!)

    I have never seen a cactus bloom in person. It looks pretty. :)

    That's a rather prickly post...with plenty of soon-to-be-lovely blooms.

    Just wondering...
    Been meaning ask you this-
    Question: Who declared Ocala the 'Horse Capital of the World'? Why? Are there cowboys in Texas that might want to take Ocala on? A throwdown?

    the buds waiting to open look like spires
    and the green is so lush

    I wasn't questioning your fair city, just its title. Calm down, calm down. Man, that's one heck of a lot of 'horses' arses' isn't it?

    I think it's called prickly pear cactus. Beautiful flowers. We have one species of prickly pear which freezes in winter and grows in the gardens. It has very similar flowers ... I'm going to sleep now. Sincerely, Peter.
