Plants I'm growing: First Blooms--Opuntia Elata
First blooms today on the big Opuntia elata, a fairly obscure prickly pear cactus from Argentina, with beautiful deep orange blossoms that fade to yellow. Misty drizzle this morning. Thunderstorms still forecast, but no real rain. The piper who lives behind us is practicing her bagpipes, giving everything a very Scottish feel.
