Just got home from the Farmers' Market
and had to show you this beauty
I met outside a shop in Angaston
I had never before seen such a cactus flower
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteLovely it is and a great pic!! Hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend, Arija!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolute stunner!
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteOMW That's stunning, Arija. Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting my blog and sharing the tip about storing the passwords and usernames. It's good to be back! Blessings, Jo xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI used to have many cacti but not sure I ever had one of these. My favourites were the night-flowering varieties and remember sitting up on many evenings waiting for them to open up and display their unlikely beauty.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful cacti flower. Looks similar to some poppies.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I said outloud was "That's a cactus flower?" Beautiful and stunning ♥
ReplyDeleteWe seldom see cacti in bloom here, but I have never even seen a photo like this one! Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this beauty Arija, glad you brought it home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Cactus have some wonderful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cracking flower - I know that some cactus flowers only last a few hours.
ReplyDeleteThe stumpy has his mouth open to eat a chunk of banana that had been dropped on him by our host when I was away getting my camera! Taken a month or more ago, I think he may not have been fully warm yet!

I love the orange highlights in the red, and the stigma is very fancy, it makes me think of a fancy starfish.
ReplyDeleteLovely and thanks for sharing. Have a great week ahead.

Warm as a volcano!
ReplyDeleteYou had two special treats Arija ... going to the Farmer's Market and finding this delightful treasure. I'm sure it made your day.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Cacti blooms are among the most beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen such a beautiful flower before!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your birthday wish!
Have a great week.
Wil, ABCW Team.
such a beauty indeed! I can see why you are happy with it!
ReplyDeleteIt is delightful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in Floral Friday Fotos!
I spent some time in hospital Tuesday and Wednesday and so trying to make some visits, What a gorgeous colour of flower that is. Happy weekend with hugs~
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful Arija. The center reminds me of a Passion flower.
