My best friend got me a cactus for my birthday last month. I’ve just noticed it has an *interesting* new growth…

    It is, indeed developing a sexual reproductive organ.

    Mine flowered for one night. I tried pollinating it. I guess it was successful. The flower withered the next day. Over the course of 10 days post bloom, the corolla tube also withered and the place I expect for the ovaries to be swole up and then the whole thing detached. Firm swollen bulb like at the base and I’m keeping them in a mesh bag outside and hoping the seeds dehisce so I can try to germinate them.

    Overall, congrats OP. Be sure to give that flower a deep sniff once it opens up. I found it to be extremely pleasant smelling.

    I wasn’t focusing on the screen and out of the corner of my eye I initially thought this was a really weird cat.
