Cactus time!
I brought this one away from a window I just had to open for some ventilation, and thought I would get a few pics. (Hoping it won't drop the blooms from just that disturbance, tbqh.)
It's an honestly fairly neglected little plant that I picked up at Lidl last year, but it does seem happy enough with the windowsill it's been living on in this apartment.
The phone camera did weird things with the bloom colors, and I didn't feel like trying to edit that. But, in reality? This appears to be a fairly standard darkish-pinky Schlumbergera truncata hybrid, like so:
Very cheerful! Come spring, I want to move it up into a bigger pot.

The night blooming cereus had a second set of blooms this year. This time I got up early in the morning to see if it stayed open all night/ Here it is in full glory in early dawn.

Epiphyllum oxypetalum, also known as Kadupul or Queen of the Night, is considered one of the most expensive flowers in the world, due to its rarity, fragrance and the fact that it doesn’t survive long enough to even be picked. It blooms rarely (usually once a year) and only at night, and then will die by the next morning.

Barty is the thorns on a rose bush to everyone else, but to Evan, he's softer than the petals.

I got this baby cactus as a birthday gift to myself 3 years ago. I named her Posey.
Today Posey bloomed 3 flowers, and has 2 more on the way. I'm so proud of my baby.
