getting my pink on

Last year about this time, I bought a Aporocactus flagelliformis. Yes I said f l a g e l l i f o r m i s, also commonly known as a rat's tail cactus or in our family know as Lenny. Lenny came with a nice note card and picture that showed pink flowers sprouting from almost every square inch of him. BRIGHT PINK FLOWERS. The $15 could not have flown out of my wallet faster. Since then I have been eagerly awaiting Lenny to show his 'true colors'.

Behold the flower of Lenny.
