This plant gave me my first glimpse at cactus bloom insanity. Since, she has had a whole bunch of bug problems, and I can remember one night where I opened the garbage bin to toss her. But that size. The investment. I can beat those bugs, right?

She also HATES to be moved around.

Note: the bloom was 2022, not 2023.
