Well this is a picture of my winter cactus from last year. I'm trying to get it to re-bloom now. It spent the summer on the terrace and has gotten quite large. I kept in a cool dark place with no light for 3.5 months and recently brought it back to the house. It's now been watered and fed and is in bright but diffuse light. Keep your fingers crossed that I get some blooms in about a month.

That's my promise Kathy! I did an attempt as well but know already that I won't succeed as the tiny buds all are falling down already like snow flakes.

Wonderful image. The tones are splendid.

I wonder why I always think of Goldie Hawn and Walter Matthau when I see a cactus flower. This is a gorgeous shot, Kathy. Perfect in every way!

A beautiful shade of pink and with that lighting it shines so nicely Kathy.

A lovely shot of this delicate pink bloom Kathy. I hope it flowers for you this year. They can be a bit temperamental but it sure is getting loving care so it should oblige :)

I'm having a difficult time typing with crossed fingers among other things. But I'll try my best.
A fabulous close up on the cactus bloom, Kathy. Lovely colours and good details in the image.
