Our Orchid Cactus bloomed this morning

[Grampa Don]

It only blooms once a year if we're lucky and only lasts one day. But, it's worth it.

I'm not really sure. It's been moved a couple times. I think it has been in that present spot about 4 or 5 years. I have two in pots that I started from cuttings of this one and they have grown much bigger. But, they haven't bloomed this year. I'm not what you would call an expert gardener.

Well, you must be doing something right, cause that one's a beauty.

It's stunning. Too bad it only lasts a day. Don't know if I could take that. I hate that our complex's cherry blossom tree sheds it's blooms so quickly.

Thanks for the comments. I did an image search and it looks like it might be a variety called space rocket.
