We have millions of them around us. They flower all the time.
Has anyone seen the bloom yet?
I wouldn't vote for pecker head Pence if my life depended on it.
Can someone put a fence around this plant for the time being; my brain just went negative there is somebody out there that's not going to like this plant.
I hope it lives out it's Natural life.
Also, what a great demeanor this lady has.
and San Antonio Texas!!!! I saw one bloom by Travis park here before the Pandemic
very cool.. Hey I'm from 87 maybe its time for me to finally Bloom my situation is close to being like the movie step brothers I just need my dad to find a lady with a 36 year old man boy to move in with us..
we had one of those in my yard, defs didnt take 36 years though. or anywhere near that. more like 5… my house was built in like 2015, idk when the thing was planted but it sprouted up like that last year. and died recently. it was ugly asf. maybe it was planted a long time ago and transplanted in my yard but i doubt that it was sitting around for 30 years before it got planted in my yard
👍
Awww this is such a cool story!! Going to share with my grandma who loves gardening. Also random but the anchor reminds me of Gabrielle Union.
So sad to hear those idiot kids cut it down 😒😭
Calling it., some dumb tiktoker/youtuber is gonna fuck this up.
Must not be a lot to do in Ga
Love this!!!
FANTASTIC Story. Nature is absolutely amazing 💯❤️
Wow, Georgia must be slow if this is news…literally didn't even show the flowers SMH
I'm confused, I don't see any "front yard cactus", I can only see an Agave americana 🤔
Awesome story
They are pollinated by bats.
Climate change
It must have been tHORNY that's why
Happens all the time
Wow she seems so light hearted and funny as can be. It would be fun to tour her garden with her one day. And what would be a dream come true is to be there for when the cactus blooms and capture some drone footage.
This is definitely an awesome story.
It’s all fun and games until the lightning finds it. I’m calling it. The lady is truly a gem though.
We just had this happen by my house!
Viagra works on Cactus!
This is so cool. I hope she gets to see it bloom.
She gunna kick the bucket b4 it blooms

I see one of these near my house where there is lots of catus.
I saw one of these in Jacksonville NC when I was a teenager, super cool!
