The yellow cactus is not a flower but it is definitely as beautiful as one.
The succulent on the left is also not a flower but could be easily pass on as one too.
These grafted cactus is sometimes called Moon Cactus.
The top is a desert cactus.
The bottom is a jungle cactus.
The top relies on the bottom to supply food as it doesn't have any chlorophyll to make food.
Unlike other cactus, they should not be exposed to extreme sunlight.

Your cactus is really pretty. I have moon cactus too. Did you find the post?
ReplyDeleteYou have some pretty looking cactus. I like the third one. The flowers looks like pretty little stars.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! it reminds me of my country
ReplyDeleteOh dear...sadly I remember having one of these colorful cactus some years ago. Mine was red on top. Somehow, through neglect, it met its demise, and since then I've avoided growing cactus. I think they're beautiful, I just leave their care to those who are more skilled, with greener thumbs than mine!
ReplyDeleteNice photos and you have cute cactus One! The first pic is a good one :-D Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteNice one. I suddenly thought you were leaving in the Texas desert instead of the tropics.LOL.
ReplyDeleteWow so many cute and colourful cactus! Beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteDonna, I did a search in your blog but couldn't locate moon cactus.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, I like the 3rd one too. It is multi-coloured but those babies are not flowers.
Fer, I guess you would have all those beautiful varieties that I may not have seen.
Curbstone Valley Farm, Usually cactus require a lot of sunlight but not this one. Could yours have suffered because it was situated at a bright location which gave it a sunburn?
Aaron, I used to have a tendency to water all my plants every day which cause cactus and succulents to rot. Now I group my plants according to their water requirement needs so that I don't make the same mistake.
Hi Stephanie, Thanks. Glad you like that first photo. I usually put my favourite photo as the first one.
Elaine, Thank you.
Diana, Where am I? No frost, only cactus. :)
Malar, Thanks. Glad you like them too.
Those cactus are easily as beautiful as any flower. I especially love that they share energy stores. A sweet detail. Thanks for teaching me something new. :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful collection of cactus One! Great photos too..
ReplyDeleteI love your cactus!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that the moon is a bloom and the jungle is the life partner of the moon! No wonder none of the cactus plants I bought survived under my care :(
ReplyDeleteMeredith, Good to see you back. Don't we all share energy stores too?
ReplyDeletePuteri, Glad you appreciate these colourful cactus too.
Mac from Australia, I suppose these are available in Australia?
Autumn Belle, Haha! The moon is only a bloom in Onenezz. I hope with this little information, your future cactus will thrive. Don't give up on cactus.
What amazing plants! They are so uniquely designed for their habitat. I truly enjoyed see your lovely photos!! ;>)
ReplyDeleteOne your cactus collection is beautiful and the photos extraordinary! Easily as beautiful as any blooms!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos One. We have a cactus native to Canada called the Prickly Pear Cactus. It is a fine looking specimen. I have never grown one, in fact they seem to be hard to find.
ReplyDeleteFor real blooms, I always visit Cameron Highland.
ReplyDeleteGrafting cactus is something i wanted to do for a long time but i don't have cactus, so haven't done it yet. I think every horticulturist must know how to do most of the technologies done with plants. In this regard, i still fail. BTW, i just joined Blotanical, i dont know if it will really be fun or more blogging time spent.
ReplyDeleteI also love AB's comment above. AB cactus is a plant which is very difficult to kill, so if you did you are a certified unique gardener.
Grafted cactus are so odd and enjoyable! I'm nuts for succulents, your photos are great! The little green "guy" with plump fingers in your topmost photo is awfully cute, too!
ReplyDeleteHi One, I love the first photo of your cactus, taken from a low angle. They look so beautiful and tall, against the blue sky!
ReplyDeleteI really wonder how it would look like when its it gets older.
ReplyDeleteDear friends, thank you for coming by to admire these moon cactus. I really appreciate your comments.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed going through the beautiful images! Love the moon cactus from every angle!:)
