10-10-09 I have a very large starfish cactus, and so far I counted 17 buds on one side, one will be bloomng out soon, would like to get a good picture of it for everyone cause it is a pride and joy of mine. had to put the pot in a eighteen inch plant stand cause it hangs down so long. wish I could show it off.

Does anyone know what the yellow deposits are on this flower? I destroyed mine believing they might be fly eggs.
