It's always amazed me how some cacti can go through such a huge effort to produce flowers that are so immense in comparison to the overall size of the plant.

@aidancampos5959 6 лет назад

hebneh Cactus never cease to amaze, they are the products of a beautiful evolutionary history and are very underrated.

@klb3342 5 лет назад

And live such a comparatively short life!

@LeeZYComparisons 3 года назад

Yeah the reason behind that is that theres often a low population of insects where cacti live so they have to be really outstanding

@OffGridInvestor 5 месяцев назад

Frailea phaeodisca. Look that up. Flower is bigger than the actual cacti. The cacti is smaller than the end of your thumb after 3 years I have several of them.

@Christmascactus88 Год назад

When watching a video about cacti, I can't help but feel amazed and in awe of their wild beauty. Cacti with their rough branches and delicate leaves exude life and toughness of the desert. I feel like I'm drawn to their resilience and uniqueness. It's fascinating to know that cacti can survive in some of the harshest conditions on earth, where water is scarce and humidity is low. They can also exist in dry and sandy environments. This shows that life can thrive in places where we think it's impossible. Witnessing the uniqueness and vitality of cacti makes me feel impressed and more respectful of nature. We need to preserve and protect their habitats so that they can continue to exist and flourish in this world.

@feeberizer 4 года назад

We have these where I live in New Mexico. It's a treat to see them bloom for all of 2 to 3 days. But the same plant will bloom multiple times over the season, so if you miss one bloom there will be another to enjoy.

I had no idea that they can bloom flowers. I am so excited to see if my recent cacti collection I started collecting will bloom one day. Never had an interest in them until recently when I started bringing in more plants to give life to my balcony with flowers, greenery, herbs and now cacti's to add to the mix. I just love collecting the pots they can be placed in and fell in love with the idea of collecting cacti's which I never knew could be so additive.
