Blooms of the day

[cactuswatcher]

Well, blooms of yesterday and yesteryear.

Here is my sage with darker flowers. A recent rain brought at least a few blossoms.


This one is the cousin of the cactus with no spines from the day before yesterday. Notice it has very similar flowers without the red throat. Notice also the shape of the plant, a five pointed star which is where the Latin name Astrophytum comes from.

Astrophytum myriostigma - Bishop's cap

This is the same plant last year with two blooms fully open at once. That isn't happening this year.

Bishop's cap--perfect name! And who knew that sage had such beautiful blossoms?
