Mega Bloom Video, Fragrant Prickly Apple
Tonight the flowers and bugs are out in Tent #2, so I made and spliced together three video clips of six Harrisia fragrans buds swelling to open, expanding and finally, nearly open. That side of the tent provided a bit of a miracle and the right conditions because three quarters of the stems are now in some stage of flowering. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of bright red fruit to make it look like Christmas in July in there.

Ok, now I’ve seen the video -i think these clever cacti just might “love the Night Life” as much as the day…it’s like they were whispering “Sun’s down, WHAT is he doing here??” Lol

Hehe, good thing I went back for a late watering before ending the day.
