I don’t know all the different kinds of cactus that can grow here in Texas. This looks like it might be a Peruvian Apple Cactus (Also known as Night Blooming Cereus). We had a small one in our yard for a few years. It really does only bloom at night, and each bloom only lasts for one night.
I read that the fruit is edible and tasty for humans or wildlife. The cactus gets really big, and this fruit is way out of reach for me though.
It’s the one in the middle. Hummingbirds and butterflies love it.
Every January, I cut it back to knee-high to keep it compact and healthy. Every summer it grows back even bigger. We’ll see if it gets taller than the house next year!
The first batches of cranberries.
Judy offers homemade cranberries to anyone that wants them.
A lot of people want homemade cranberries.
At the parking lot for the bridge to Mexico.
A pretty good flock of cowbirds. They like to stand around in the shade of the parked cars. They also like the granaries in the area. Bits get spilled as the grain is transferred to and from the silos.
