OMG, I am gonna have THREE cactus flowers! 🤯😁
Cacti and I have a rocky history. These four babies (two green Echinopsis and two dark Lobivia) were saved after I lost their parents to a battle with mealies. Two years ago, the larger of the two Lobivias actually produced one flower, to my absolute astonishment. Last year, nothing. I put them in the kitchen window this winter, sunniest spot in the house, and I guess that was the magic trick! I just about hyperventilated when I realized that BOTH were going to bloom, and had three flowers between them! Actually it looks like the smaller one might be starting a fourth, but I'm not totally sure yet.
