Prickly Beauty

This afternoon while I was making tea and waiting on the kettle, I noticed the insides of the cactus blooms. They are lovely wee flowers.
This is the third year that this particular cactus has bloomed, if I remember correctly--each year the ring of blooms is closer to the top. I don't think I've ever noticed the inner blossoms before.

There's something to be said about prickly beauty. 😃

Cacti in Ireland? Who would have thunk it?

They are stunning though.

I was surprised at how well succulents do here! A friend has many in her flower gardens and they thrive. She brings home pieces from her travels in places like Italy, plants them, and they take off. I would have thought it too cool and wet here for them, but clearly not.

I think we got it in Aldi or Lidl. I love seeing the different flowers that appear on our succulents!
