This is perhaps the ugliest cactus I have ever had. Just got a clipping in southern Ca. at my father's house. Never really expected it to even live let alone bloom in the mountains where I live, but it did.
This one flower is what I reaped and I sure think she is a beauty.

I woke up this past friday to this beautiful flower, and this morning she is already dying. A two day life span.
Such a shame. But it sure was nice to look at these two days.
Plus as soon as she opened I had my Mellow Yellow Monday picture all taken care of! LOL!!!

Wow! The ugly cactus grew a beautiful flower. Too bad it was so short - but glad you got some shots of it. TFS

I'm always amazed at the lovely blossoms produced by various cactus plants because they see so unlikely. Is this a Christmas Cactus?
Hugs and blessings,

Shame it was short lived but, it's great you got a photograph as it's truly a beautiful flower.
