The Amazing Cactus Flower - Part 2

On the 30/12/09, I wrote about a cactus plant in the garden. Well it went mad a couple of days ago! The pics below confirm what a beautiful show they put on. I hope you enjoy them....






Notice the 'spears' on the two middle pics. They are new flowers about to open. The brief bloom is kept going longer, as dying flowers are replaced by a new set. At least 50 blooms will have opened by the time they all finish, all this off one cactus plant.
