This looks likes a common daisy , doesn’t it? But it is not, this flower blooms only in summer on a bulbous stem. Can you guess what it is?
In the heart of summer nothing much thrives in this tropical weather. Vegetables wilt and dry, flowers droop even before they bloom and yet some thrive. These are the ones that are like a balm to this shriveled heart, shriveled by the summer heat.
I have to water my garden twice daily in this summer, more so because I have most of my plants on the terrace. A temporary shade structure we had made was blown away a few months back when we had a thunderstorm. In the middle of summer we expect more thunderstorms and putting up another structure would be a terrible waste of money and effort.
So we just have to lie low and not plant too many things in summer.

I did not know cactus produce such a beautiful flower.
I have another one I have post today ( hopefully they will approve it on time) which is quite amazing.
Ok. I will check it out
I didn’t know which plant this was. It’s the first time I see a cactus flower like this.
Now you will recognize them wherever you see them. 🙂
These cactus blooms are so amazing!
They are Ellie, I have a few more of them to show as they bloom.
Cacti have the most beautiful flowers!
Yes, they do, you are so observant as well, which makes you a great photographer as well.
i am going to guess a dawn bloom flower. or something from Dawn’s garden!
You’re right, it blooms at dawn, it is from dawns garden and its a dawn bloom. 😀
there you go! even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while!
LOL you made me laugh so hard Doc, thanks for the laughs. 😀

At first sight I would never say it is a cactus flower. It is beautiful.
Thank you, most people think cactus are just thorny menaces.
I have never seen them but I can say they’re beautiful.
Thank you Introvert, I am glad you think so.
Those are very lovely cactus blooms. I have not had any blooming cactuses.
Most cacti bloom, but they need the right conditions.
Lovely yellow cactus bloom.
Thank you Carol, I am glad you like it.
I knew the flower to be cactus because I saw it
I am glad you have seen them before. You are very observant.
