PERESKIA ; A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE...

Finally, my Rose Cactus or Wax Cactus (Pereskia bleo) is blooming.
I have been waiting for about four years to find the blossom.


I don't know how many efforts that I have done to stimulate the blossom.
That's really frustrating.
Finally, I moved this plant from pot to the ground, and I let it grow wildly under the Bilimbi tree, without intensive handling only watering during the dry season.


I took a cutting from our office yard about four years ago, than I planted it on a pot and grow so well, but just the leaves, there's no flower appears.
The Rose Cactus that planted on our office yard grow so well and sometimes show us their beautiful orange flowers.
That makes me so jealous...
Actually on my office yard, this plant grow wildly without any treatment, except pruning, cause this plant grow so fast especially during rainy season.
Although the old  stems have sharp thorns, but this plant too beautiful to be ignored.


Now... look my Rose Cactus...
It's so beautiful, isn't it...


This is what I find this afternoon...
A beautiful surprise!


Yeah... After work today, when I'm noticing my Bilimbi tree that full of fruits, I find this surprise...


A hope that ever goes away from my mind, finally become a reality...
Thank you GOD...
