No meio dos pés de boldo, surge inesperadamente um mandacaru — o cacto símbolo da resistência nordestina.

Flores de mandacaru desabrochando.

Durante a madrugada elas ficam completamente abertas.

18 years ago, Brazilian friends took us along on their summer vacation, including a boat trip down the #Preguiças #River from #Barreirinhas to its Atlantic mouth. Unforgettable.

I'm a sucker for fancy flowers! Earlier this year, a car drove into the plant, breaking off several pieces. I collected them hoping to grow them. Beautiful blossoms, right?

Seja cacto sempre que for preciso, mas volte logo a florir.
