another cacti

fred · #1 (**permalink**) 11-08-2009, 02:37 AM

I just took some pics of this one in bud I have forgotten to look at the name
I was blown away with all the flower buds

for those that don't know I brought a piece of this one back home from my mum and dads a couple of years ago

I can feel both my mum and dad looking down and saying "good on ya son"

Oh, Fred! How nice! That's a great orchid cactus! (as we call that type) You've surely done your parents proud.

thanks Patti

to mix this thread up a bit lol with all of my fathers plants blooming like the hippeastrums and roses I feel proud

I haven't taken any photos of this rose as yet " Mothers Love"
I got a standard rose around July and it has its first flower bud starting to open

I really need to take some pics as most of the roses are in bud

I will keep this thread updated with this cacti

I hope you all enjoy

Yup it is drop dead gorgeous for sure. You have the right touch for all of your plants; I appreciate you sharing the pics.

I love that bloom. Plus it is a special plant to you.

here is another update for you all
I love the look of this one

I also see in the pics another one of our roses as well

white iceberg

fred · #11 (**permalink**) 11-15-2009, 07:14 AM

maybe the odd bumble bee
as that plant is inside my cymbidium house
part of that orchid house is open that faces out back door so when we sit in the lounge room we can always see the flowers

with a cat and two dogs a bird would not be game enough

Oh Fred this is certainly great!!!
We can't grow any of these here due to the massive heat i think.

Great growing!! Thanks for sharing such a lovely bloom!!

Cheers!

I got started with one of these that looks like yours from my mom about 10 years ago. This year I got another 11 from EBay...uh, oh! They sure grow fast!!!
