So pretty!!! I'll be lucky if I don't kill my son's cactus while he's in Africa for the summer. I already killed my older son's aloe plant :( No green thumb here.

don't feel bad I can't grow aloe either. The plant has got to be sturdy or it is gone.

It takes a few years or more before they do.

It took me awhile to find out what kind of cactus it was and this was the one that fit it.

I love cacti flowers. They are so spectacular, shame they don't last long. I remember reading about one call (I think) century cactus that only blooms once every 100 years and blooms at night and only last the night.
