Thimble cactus bloom This is the first bloom my little thimble cactus has ever gotten. Plant: Thimble Cactus (Mammillaria vetula subsp. gracilis) ![]() Love is patient and love is kind.

Great banner Kim! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

I love this banner. I try to grow everything, sometime not successful. |

It may be small, but its bloom packs all the visual punch of those on larger cacti. You captured great detail in your shot. Love it. ![]() I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |

How lovely and what a pristine white. I'm guessing because it is a cactus, you didn't get close enough to see if it is fragrant. ![]() Love it Kim! Believe in yourself even when no one else will. ~ Sasquatch |

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! Usually I post the full pic in my banner posts, but I guess I didn't this time, so here it is: Kristi ~ no, I wasn't able to get close enough. There was one bloom that eventually came at the top though, I should've check that one. Ah well, if it blooms again, I'll see if it's fragrant. It's very dear to me, because it's one of the few cacti I have from when we left CA. Love is patient and love is kind. Always be loving and kind to one another.

Kim, what a neat banner, and a darling little cactus! Even the spines are decorative. Looks like it can bloom in a number of different colors. |
