Hey, how's it going?
Today to write a bit more and show some very spiky things.
A long time ago, actually years ago, I bought a couple of cacti for my garden. They were small, one was the size of one of my fingers and the other was like a small ping pong ball 😂🤭 with lots of thorns.
They came in very small pots so I changed them to more suitable ones, well, in fact, I exaggerated a little and put them in much larger ones, about 100 times the size of the 🌵 at that time. Everything was going well but it seems that over the years they outgrew the place 😂😃.
Much later they had proliferated 😂 , I transplanted the elongated ones to the ground but left the round ones because it was very uncomfortable and they pricked my fingers with the thorns, there were so many that they broke the pot that was like clay.
I moved them somewhere else and gave away several, and they keep growing more and more.
When I bought them, they told me there were some cacti that bloomed or even bore fruit, but over the years I never saw anything 🤔🤣. Last year I saw one that's now very tall, over two meters tall 😂, it had something that looked like a flower but I didn't pay attention 'cause I saw it a little quickly and then it was gone, so I left it like that 🤣.
Recently, when I was looking for ideas to draw creatures, I found the flower that I took references from. Doing some research, I learned more about the species of my cactus and realized that it actually had a large and a small flower, well, I've never actually seen it open since it seems that some cacti are shy and don't like to be seen, apparently it only opens at night and it doesn't bloom many times a year 😥.
During these nights, I've been on the lookout ahaha, waiting to see it but I haven't been lucky, time passed and it withered without being able to see it. Now there are two new ones growing so I'll see if I'm lucky, although I think when they open it's very late so I don't leave the house at that hour 😃😃 night-blooming flowers last one night once a year according to my research, and these might last a few more days, but well, I'll keep an eye out, I have a feeling this would be the second time it blooms. There are still very few flowers but well, it's a start 😊
