This Fenestraria specie (don’t ask which one! 😉 ) originates from Namibia and Namaqualand in South Africa. Beautiful to look at but you miss the extra-ordinary sweet/fruity fragrance; a feast for your nose .. Flower is fully open during a few hours in the afternoon.
Yesterday a Flower Feast was on its way but that the party was planned for today is a big surprise. This cactus is, including flowers 20 cm high (‘small’ if you prefer) and the largest diameter is 11 cm. Total: 14 party gangsters waiting for Bee-Business.
I’m privileged to live in a part of the world with amazing sunsets and sunrises. Can’t stop picturing them.
It’s Autumn here in the Southern Hemisphere but what a beautiful days finishing off with amazing sunsets; a different one every day…. This evening with a sea mist flowing into the lagoon nearby the village …
Always a feast; this time with a glass of good local wine along the roadside…
