Today I am joining Laurie @ Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie for a fun meme to talk about our favorite things. Be sure to swing by and check out her blog to see all the participants.
I am always amazed at the wonders of nature. This really small cactus is rather ugly until all of a sudden it decides to bloom.
Then the bloom is totally spectacular. Almost as big as the whole plant. It only lasts for 1 day, so you have to enjoy it when you can.
The following is just a walk around the yard and a few simple things that are blooming right now, but always make me smile when I see them.
These are my Mother's Day Flowers from my youngest son. This is definitely one of my most favorite things.
Happy Mother's Day everyone and God Bless you and all your family.

Marty I am right there with you. I love flowers and yours are spectacular, I have never been a cacti fan but that flower is gorgeous. It almost looks as if it is made out of wax. Beautiful!! Hugs Kathysue
ReplyDeleteYour flowers look gorgeous Marty!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy every kind of flower and I never tire of seeing them. How interesting that the Cacti only blooms for one day. I talked to my son Josh in Phoenix tonight. He said you've been having lovely weather and even a few cooler days. And your son was so sweet to send you the flowers. Happy Mothers Day to you,
Hugs,
Cindy
Happy Mother's Day, Marty! Your flowers are spectacular, so pretty. The cactus flower is so unusual....Christine

Marty, that cactus flower is gorgeous! How sad that something that pretty only lasts one day - it looks so sturdy - like it would last forever. Your flowers in your garden are beautiful, and of course, the best is getting a gorgeous bouquet from your son. Thank you for linking all of these beautiful flowers to Favorite Things. Happy Mother's Day sweet Marty. laurie

The flowers in your garden are so vibrant and colourful - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI looked and looked at that cactus that only blooms for a day and thought 'what if it bloomed and no one was at home?' - what a disappointment that would be!
You have gorgeous flowers. I've never seen one of those cactus bloom before. A totally awesome sight.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are absolutely gorgeous! That cactus bloom almost looks like a tissue paper flower it's so delicate!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!

Cacti blooms never seize to amaze me. One of these days I'd love to travel to your area to see some blooms in person.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a flower like that before! I can't believe it only flowers for one day. It is beautiful.
