Trichocereus Addiction

  A small plant still, but yet it still showed off its elegant beauty. The contrast of colors between the edges and inner parts of the petals give off an affectionate raphsody that is quite pleasing to the eyes.  

  When I acquired this, it had tons of buds waiting to bloom. When it finally happened, it was like looking at a bouquet of flowers. I love the different hues of colors in this one. The cluster picture was taken a day later,  to show how the form and structure change over time.  

 I knew this was going to bloom soon, but it did happen sooner than I expected.  I took some early morning pictures, as well as early evening ones, at different spots in my yard and from different perspectives.  It’s not one of those big blooms, but its small cuteness makes it an adorable one. 

 I acquired this one for free from a nursery up north when I was getting Epiphyllum cuttings.  It wasn’t until I saw the actual blooms from this thing that it caught my attention.  I felt bad I didn’t care much for it until it bloomed.  I had forgotten about it since until I saw a picture of the blooms when looking back on some old pictures.  It ended up sparking a trichocereus cactus addiction.
