1st Bud Siblings

We lost 1st bud.
It turned yellow and fell off!

Our Vietnamese neighbors told us we were watering too much during the flowering season.
This could be the reason we lost 1st bud.
It also could be that our plant is not fully mature with hanging down branches able to support the weight of the flower buds as they turn into heavy fruit.
We'll have to be more careful with these two buds.

Two years ago Today, I posted THIS which shows the Neighbor's cactus in fruit mode.
