Sunday Stills...Macro Shots



I took these shots of cactus fruit for a post I am going to do on propagating sunrise cacti.


Do NOT step on this puppy barefoot!

Interesting cactus fruit shot. Looks like prickly pear. When we lived in Tucson we used to pick these and made jelly. :)

Interesting first two shots..and the last one is it a coal from your woodstove? I wouldn't want to step on it either:)

Nice macros there, 3C. Always like to discover new stuff. I like the fruit guts. Now what are you gonna do with them?

dibear, this one is off a variant of the Christmas cactus (really a succulent) I put mine out for the summer and now and then they set fruit

Ed, thanks!

Lisa, thank you

Achieve1dream, thanks, and thanks for stopping by!

Janice, thanks, I am working up a post for my garden blog on propagating these and I wanted to show the seeds

Shirley, thank you

TCSL, thanks, the last one is a coal that jumped out of the wood stove when I opened the door.

Brenda, thanks

Linda, thank you. It fruited two years ago and I got an amazing number then. I am thinking some of them may bloom this year.

Cloe, thank you

RG, this one is totally benign, just a Christmas cactus variant

Far side, thanks, it is. I opened the stove door one day and a huge log rolled right out. this coal was with it

Steve, I was working on a post I am going to do on propagating Christmas cactus from seed. I actually have already planted all the little dudes in a cookie tray. Hoping for some new plants. I started a mess two years ago and have been giving them away ever since. Still have some for the library plant sale come summer.
