This old man cactus is about 10 years old. It was kept in a very small pot and didn't grow much. I transplanted it last summer and placed it in a very sunny location. Image my surprise when one morning, I looked at it and this beautiful flower was blooming.

LOL. They are in high demand or do not exist?

Let's just say rare and hard to acquire one.

I saw some last night on Flicker. So cool. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33037982@N04/5731167649/in/faves-33909421@N03/

Though I must have been half awake last night. I had gone thru and found a bunch of photos I had taken of a friend over the years and then fixed them for printing. Took my hours. And this morning I went to send them to Walgreens to get printed and they were not to be found. Made me nuts. We are going to a 1 year memorial tomorrow and I wanted to bring them. So I had to go back and refind them and redo them all. So I was just a friend that the Pilosocereus leucocephalus might be gone too. LOL
