I say another because this morning when I hung out an early load of washing I found a flower on my cactus! Its a bit overshadowed by yours now, but I also photographed and blogged about it.

The form of the flower looks really similar to this mystery succulent I received from a family friend - but sadly I haven't gotten any fruit yet. This is what our flower looked like - http://mooimadeit.com/2008/11/25/got-too-much-of-a-good-thing-maybe-youd-care-to-swap/mooimadeit.comhttp://mooimadeit.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-85605777129566994712009-01-15T22:07:00.000+11:002009-01-15T22:07:00.000+11:00Julie, my first thought also was wow! that flower is stunning. Thanks for the look. What an interesting plant.<BR/>Thanks also for the comment on the tomatoes. You might be right with the nematode theory. I have noticed knobly bits on some roots of plants in the past but can't remember if some were tomatoes.I am guessing they probably were. I didn't realise tomatoes could be so badly affected.I'm not sure what I will do about growing them again. I like to make organic tomato sauce as well as eating them fresh of course.I have the worst soil, grey beach sand but have been adding good stuff for several years and have grown terrific broccoli, cauliflowers, beans and common herbs.<BR/>I appreciate your help and hope the bad luck with your toms. doesn't continue.<BR/>Kind regards<BR/>PatriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-77559108097153006022009-01-15T21:43:00.000+11:002009-01-15T21:43:00.000+11:00That's just amazing.
