Description

Two years ago, my sister gave me the "children" of an old man cactus (it had more than 30 years) that has never bloomed! Days ago, I realized that one of them had a little gem, I thought it was just a protuberance of the same cactus, but, incredibly, it was a flower! Here it is in its full beauty! :) I'm back with the comments... I hope to do so as soon as possible. I wish you all a happy weekend! Thanks for looking and for previous comments and fav!

What a beautiful child and lovely capture! I love the detail and shape, of the stamens and the soft shadows on the petals. Beautiful colors, detail, and light.
