Flower!!!!!! Stinky Flower!

[meridian_star]

Yes I have another cacti flower! This one is uber spcial because it stinks! really, it smells like rotting decaying things... but look at it, isn't it worth the smell? Of course it is! To be honest it's not really a very strong smell, but its enough to bring a few flies to it.

It's really odd though, the bud was still all tightly closed this morning, I checked! I've been keeping an eye on it for days as cacti flowers don't ever last very long so they're easy to miss when not in plain view. It must have just suddenly burst open. I went in my room to grab my bag and head off shopping when I sniffed the air and thought something was odd :-P

As you can see it's actually quite large. Thank you sunshine for making it open!

Unfortunately it's meant to be rainy again *sighs* Some days I hate British weather, does anywhere else manage to get all four seasons in one day?

I've been shopping with my Granny, I'm happy to say that I'm alive and that she was far more apreciative of Tokio Hotel when there is no Bill to see. She actually listens to the music rather than talking over it about how feminine he looks and why manly men are good too.

Me, Mum and Dad are off to Offwell woods tonigt for a BBQ and possible bat watching... which could turn into sitting and nattering in the gorgeous log cabin they have over there.



EDIT: I just had an odd moment of my brain waking up. I think thats actually a succulent but not a cactus... the main distinction of a cactus is the spines coming out of areoles, now that I look at it, it definately seems to areoliless... lol I am stipid some days!... er most days. Whatever pretty flower!
