ToDaZeD In the Garden
well… more like “the back 40 yard"
This cactus has never had more than one bloom at a time and maybe 3-4 in a year: this year, YOW!
The blooms last about a day and boy do they smell sweet. The scent changes from kinda green when they’re opening to sweet and heady when they’re full to slightly too much as they die. Very intricate inside, too.
As you can see, it’s a tad dry ‘round these parts. When ya walk on it. the grass sounds like corn flakes spilled on a kitchen floor.
Did I mention it’s a bit smoky as well?
This is tonight’s sunset from the driveway. The pic misses the depth of the firey orange light, tho. In fact, the light all day is fire red orange. It’s getting kinda weird. No relief til middle of next week, either. We seem to be in the middle of a rogue low pressure system [unconnected to the jet stream.]
