I thought it was going to abandon this one, but instead it is *checks calendar* blooming in October.
Silly cactus.
#SanPedro #cactussky #bloomscrolling #plantsky
7 fully open huge white blossoms - they open fully after dark
one large white flower head on, grabby bit sticking out, seeds in the center
the two blossoms that were on top of the lure blossom that opened last night are mushed together
#SanPedro after dark is the best 💗

The morning sun was rough to take pictures in, but these flowers are done by the time it shifts position enough to be kind. The organ pipe has been damn showy this year!

Organ pipe flower getting ready to open. It is large and bulbous white petals with green stemmy bits glistening around it
Tiny purple lettuce flowers. They're fuzzy and fun to pet.
7 organ pipe flowers in various stages of nearly opening on 4 cactus stalks in a terra cotta pot
This #organpipe is just so showy right now! Also, the #lettuce was getting bitter, so I'm letting it bolt and seed. I like the little #flowers it makes.

The slope under the olive tree, now covered in flowers getting ready to bud.
Lots of flowers under the olive tree, just about ready to start blooming.
The slope is covered in flowers getting ready to bloom, while the yard beyond is dotted with cacti surrounding a small mesquite tree and the whole area is covered in mulch.
Another view of the yard. Both sloped flowerbeds are split by the homemade cinderblock stairs and protected by a brown picket fence. The cacti and mesquite are in the foreground while the house and olive tree and further back.
How it’s going: Part 2
