A nice surprise in my cactus garden this morning! Two Echinopsis candicans (var gladiatus) blooms survived being eaten by packrats during the night. https://t.co/XfBFcJWZcF

The time lapse of our Argentine Giant Cactus, Echinopsis candicans, yesterday afternoon. Full bloom was this morning, 5/12/2018. Too bad there were 40 mph winds ️ https://t.co/C9Eiy1LJXN
