{Diamond in the Rough}

It's hard to imagine, but this half-dead looking, needle overloaded cactus can actually
produce some real, delicate beauty.



Our neighbor, Paul, gave it to us last winter.
He said it would flower amazing blooms once a year.
And he was right. It did.






They came and went quickly -- only sticking around for a few days. Such a cool gift from
the desert!
