Strange flowers






























This is the oddest flower!
Looks like a cross between an orchid and a wonderful candy Wonka might have made. Since cactus root so easily, many of us cactus junkies trade paddles and cuttings back and forth. Usually I remember where everything came from. Not sure WHO or even WHERE this guy came from, I don't even remember planting it, but it has popped up in the planter out front and in the back yard.
The flower is solid and shiny, like a hard plastic. Definitely not delicate like an orchid, I'm sure it is in one of my cactus books, will have to check later today.
