Even cactus bears flowers.

So does life is!

Don't poke it to poke you back.

Simply had to photograph this beautiful Cacti as l walked past a flower stall in Hull City Centre,

Mammillaria sp.

Our kitchen cactus has flowered over a prolonged period, albeit the flowers only last a couple of days.

Cactus flowers seen in Aghios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece.

Hopefully, not a totally tired theme. But another cactus bloom to bring a little color to your day.

(120/366) Busy day yesterday tidying the house up for an unexpected viewing & at the same time welcoming a family with 2 small kids & dog checking into the B&B. So I just had time for a quick snap of one of my cactus plants basking in the sunshine on the kitchen windowsill.
