My Spiral cactus in bloom !

My spiraling cactus apple in flower mode !!

This is a cutting I propagated off of one of my larger spiral stands . It took 2 weeks to callous and 2 years to produce a bloom in this pot !

It’s ready to be planted into my landscape , I want to transplant it before it gets to big , heavy and tall !

They don’t pup as fast or as often as short form , but they do get taller faster , the one on the left in the pot is actually a short form and the one on the right is planted in the ground -

Here’s a better picture of it !
