    Do the flowers open out more than in your third photograph by any chance? If they do could you post another photograph of them please as they are such a lovely colour. :-D

    Well, of course :)

    I've used some special treatment for this plant; it has spent this summer on a public balcony :oops:
    I call it guerrilla gardening :D

    Here it is in bloom...

    WOW Christer what a delightful flower!! :D I've never seen a bloom quite like yours before. Could I possibly send a copy of your photograph to my eldest son? He loves cacti.

    Lovely cactus bloom! It looks like a lovely piece of sunshine. :D I like cacti and had a fairly large collection in my window sill when I was a little girl.
