Good things come to those who wait (and wait, and wait)

This cactus was bought 25 years ago as one of those fun novelties, the ones with eyes & glasses.

it never flowered, just grew & grew.  I shoved it outside and out of the way as I felt quite disgusted with it,

 

so it grew a few more friends to keep it company.  I could never quite bring myself to leave it behind when shifting house.  Anyway whether conditions were perfect or it just needed to grow up, it has decided to honour my patience with my favourite coloured flower and a few more to come as well!

 

stormy weather threatening, but thats all it was, weak effort in the end

 

Lazy photo's taken from my chair, well it was wine oclock!

Bella the clever talking dog, but only if she has something in her mouth.

 

beautiful agaves, sad lawn, perfect evening for some good cheer!

Cactus

I have had these two cactus forever, they were purchase some 20 odd years ago as little novelty plants with glasses and hats on. I have replanted them a couple of times, but mainly they have been neglected for long periods of time, rediscovered & nutured for a few years & then lost & forgotten for a few more.

I am making a concerted effort now to be much more considerate & loving towards them, lets see if it makes any difference.  Have no idea of their names.
