I've read Dave's Garden from the get go, looking for me understanding plant life and gardening. Now, this prickly little thing as made me push forward.

This is Mom's. She is so excited with the blooms but has been wondering about the little red thing. We figured it out searching here, its a seed pod. Full of seeds. She has shared this plant with a lot of family. Some have never had it bloom. Everything just elongates. Mom wanted to get her tweezers and pluck out the red, carefully. I got a picture first. And you see the blossoms. This is one blossom we missed. You can't have a seed without the flower. But the spikes are more pronounced with her cactus. Could this be the same?
