Fruitas y Flores de de Cardon
Here are some flowers and fruit up close. I don't have a macro lens so can't get too close. This Cardon has grown about 2 meters in ten years and
this is the first year its ever flowered. I have video of the bees collecting pollen inside the flowers from today but here's a couple of quick ones
first was taken about five days ago, the second was taken this morning-
when you put "old+loreto" in the search under the photo gallery you get the Loreto hoarhouse thread. Then I came on this thread. I love cardons we
have four in our yard.

Thanks here's a couple more from this morning. This cardon has more flowers this year than we've ever seen before.

Yikes, that must be one happy, well cared for cardon to produce all those flowers! BEAUTIFUL and the bird is a nice touch.
If we could we would grow a cardon or two in our yard, but they do not like sand dunes.

Last night I watched bats on the flowers. Couldn't get it on film but they fly up to the flower and hug it with their wings for a few seconds then
let go, drop to the ground and fly off again. I watched this for about an hour last night.
