This wasn't the first flower for our cactus, but it was the first flower that we ever saw on our cactus. It was a proud cactus parent moment. Our
cactus is growing up.

Pretty cactus flower there! Your unknown plant is one of the Kalanchoe tribe, but not sure which one (there are a lot!). Possibly K. daigremontiana
but that's a longshot.

Wow Shari, never knew a Castor Bean was so pretty up close...nice. Blanca---that blue flower you have is a Mexican Petunia (Ruellia brittoniana) if
you didn't know already---I know that one by virtue of my former life in TX where it is quite widely used (I'm back in CA now--yay!).
