A bunch of years ago I planted an Apple Cactus along with a bunch of other cactus to fill the west side by the A/C unit. All our cactus have done well there, but this year, for whatever reason the apple cactus seems very happy, pushing out flowers at a rate I’ve never seen before.
I’ve also never seen one of the flowers in bloom, as they only flower at night, so when I saw one the other day I had to get out there quick and snap it quick; by the time I finally got out there the flower had already started receding. But it still made for a pretty picture. I think they only bloom for a single day. I’ve seen the fruit on the cactus before, but I had never thought of eating them; it turns out the fruit is perfectly edible, so we’ll see what happens this year!
Given the amount of flowering on the cactus I’m guessing I’ll have plenty of opportunities to try the fruit.
