Another Cactus in Bloom

Another cactus in bloom and it's not mine; it's from one of my relatives, and you can see that it looks like a pedigree cactus and not the cheap mall plants that I have.

Cactus: In Yellow Bloom

 Here is something unexpected that was observed yesterday.

 

At one of my homes, where I haven't been for more than two weeks, a cactus sprang to life and produced this wonderful yellow flower.

The point is this cactus like those keeping it company in the above picture are very cheap cactus mix plants probably from the land of the Dutch that they sell at malls and such and are for this reason known in my household as Dutch mutants.

This one was a small round ball and morphed into some fingered thing.

However all is forgiven now that after over 15 years of non-descript existence, it has managed to give something this pleasing to the eye.

Cellphone pictures are only so good.

The previous time I had one of these Dutch mutants flower was on May Day in 2014, that's 8 years ago.

 

And it hasn't flowered since.

 

May Day Cactus

Here's the little culprit from my apartments -- burst into bloom to celebrate May Day - the International Workers' Day !

Down with the capitalists! Mayday, mayday...

 

No idea what it's called or even if it has a name. 

It is one of those little Dutch greenhouse cactuses (cacti?) sold in every shopping mall here in Moscow -- "Dutch mutants" :)

 At least it has blossomed.

 The others are no so inclined at the moment... or ever.

 

 

 

Nice flowers... and there are a lot of them with more on the way. 

I hope haven't spoiled things by watering it today.
