This cactus belonged to the crazy lady who lived across the lane from me in my lovely Sydney suburb. According to crazy lady, this bloom occurs just once.. so I figured I might as well snap it while it was there.

Then again, she has sent money in response to some mail scam about investing in an account in Nigeria. She has done this more than once and has not seen any returns, yet continues to send money. She also once came out and informed the ape, who was waiting in the car, that I was probably a teacher involved in a strike that was going on at the time. There was absolutely nothing that made sense about that conclusion. She is a nutter. So maybe this thing blooms once a month.
