Almost green fingers

In all the years I've kept cacti this is the first time I've ever had flowers. I'd like to take the credit but I think it's more to do with the Japanese climate! Whatever the reason (and I'm pretty suer it's nothing to do with the neglect!) I'm thrilled with this and there are more flowers to come on the others. Now... If that poorly, sick, twiggy thing would just rise from the dead then I'll be set up as a gardener extraordinaire!! ;)
Happy weekend Blippers!

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.
