Flowering Cacti

There is a path down  one side of our house that is dry, partly shady and gets very hot which is also difficult to water and I have decided to try and use it for cactus and succulents.

 I have been really surprised and pleased that they appear to be happy there and when they flower they are spectacular. Hopefully although they flower briefly they are assisting insects to flourish.
There is an excellent article on the beauty of Cactus flowers at this link.
