A bud on a Flying Saucer Cactus |
I was watching this bud grow bigger and bigger on my Flying Saucer Cactus and I sensed it was going to open the evening of June 4th. I set up a timelapse camera, hoping to capture the opening of the bloom and make a short video. We've all seen those videos and they are pretty cool. I was hoping that it would be fully open before it got too dark for a picture.
The timelapse camera was set to take a picture every 10 seconds, and here are the "highlights".
As you can see, the big opening took place when it was too dark for a picture.

It wasn't worth making a video, but it's still an incredible bloom.

In this last photo you can see what's left of the two blooms from my June 1st post. The blooms only last a few days and longer if we don't get drippy fog!
