Cactus Flowers
I normally don't spend much time in the greenhouses when the weather is nice and there is so much outside to photograph and enjoy at the Garden. Over the weekend chilly temps and drizzles sent me into the Arid Greenhouse in search of things to shoot and I was delighted to find the cactus in full bloom. I had stopped in there the day before in search of inspiration for my 365 project and all the buds were tightly closed. I had no idea that those buds would produce such beautiful flowers within 24 hours. Believe me, from now on I will be watching for those blooms this time of year. They were spectacular! Within a few days they were all closed and shriveled up, so it is an event you have to catch in a two day period to get the blooms at their best.
