  3. I 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.

  9. That is a cracking flower - I know that some cactus flowers only last a few hours.

    The 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!

  10. I love the orange highlights in the red, and the stigma is very fancy, it makes me think of a fancy starfish.
