Cacti Flowers

Two days ago I looked out my patio and saw these beautiful flowers had bloomed on my cactus plant.


This morning I looked out my patio and saw that the orange flower had disappeared and this red flower poked its beautiful head out into the world! Can you believe this is even the same cactus plant?! All within 2 days!


Update: Three days have since passed and the cacti have bloomed two more beautiful, fuchsia colored flowers!

Bohemian Plants on My Patio



I live in an apartment complex on the second floor so I do not have a garden. Instead I have a patio and a 50-60 hour work week. So this is what I’ve started on my patio..a baby cactus and a succulent!

One of my supervisors at work gave me the cactus. He says it will randomly grow flowers – I cannot wait for the day! I did not know that cacti can grow flowers. I’m not sure what the cactus that I have is called exactly but isn’t he so cute?!

I got my succulent at the Davis Flea Market about 2 months ago for $5. It is still going strong! It isn’t growing much but it’s definitely still living and well. I thought the gal that I bought it from – Melissa – said it is called an Elephant Trunk succulent but I just looked it up on Google and it doesn’t appear so.

Does anyone know what type of cactus/succulent is on my patio?! I’d love to know! Also, if you have any succulents or cacti of your own, please show me some photos!
