We’re on bloom watch.
The carrion cactus has not one, not two, but seven buds on it. It attracts flies with its fleshy aroma, but I can’t wait to see the star-shaped blooms.

I have two extremely happy carrion cacti that need propagating. The last time they only had one or two blooms on them, and I could swear they were opening up as I was watching them. Another fascinating plant in the garden!
