Beautiful photo. I love these plants. In Tempe, AZ, in a grouping of reddish brown hills called Papago Park, they have an event every year with pathways lined with paper bags with candles inside and many of these plants in bloom. They have various musical groups and soloists scattered along the pathways. It’s a great experience and so pretty to see all these plants in bloom. Balboa Park, in San Diego, always had large groups of these in their arboretum, too.

It is a show stopper when it is in bloom. How about growing one yourself?

They like to play with the plants. And with so many plants being poisonous to cats, I decided it is not worth it. I will gladly enjoy yours from afar!

That’s great! Does yours bloom only once a year, or more than once?
