Moonlight Cactus

Just caught this lovely bloom as its petals started to furl with the first rays of sunshine this morning. Brings back pleasant memories of my grandmother who was always very excited when one of these rarer flowers bloomed. My plant is descended from her original plants so has been in the family for over eighty years now.

Love the pic and the story. So many of my memories of my grandmothers include time spent in the garden....

I can see why she was excited--and what an awesome thing to pass down through the generations. This is simply gorgeous
