Such a beautiful day yesterday! We had our great friends, Rolf & Karen come over for a BBQ lunch and then spent a wonderful time together for hours.😎🥩🥗🍰🍺🍹
After they left I went out the back and enjoyed the (very) late afternoon sunshine, warmth and birdsong, and the following words came to me. 😎🦜🌞✍️🖋️
Almost a year ago, a fellow Cacti & Succulent lover gave me a cutting of the plant below and it has just flowered for the first time.
Like some of my other Cacti flowers, it is a nocturnal-opening flower and it was such a joy to be greeted by this flower when I walked around the corner of the house a few days ago.
When I saw it initially, I thought it had opened fully however, much to my surprise and enjoyment, it opened up even further during the day.
To identify it, I posted a some photos and a question in the Members Only Facebook Group of the Cacti & Succulent Association of Australia. It has been identified as a ‘Peniocereus serpentinus.’
I am so looking forward to seeing the plant’s next flower bloom.
Till next time!

One of my favourite subjects to photograph is Tree Bark. Early morning and late afternoon are my favourite times to do this. It is at those times when the beauty, texture and colour really comes to life.
I hope you enjoy these images.
Till next time! 🙂
