I know its Saturday 17 April in blogland but here it is Sunday 18th and great excitement.  While bucketing the laundry water on to the garden I saw the most beautiful flower on one of my ugliest cacti / succulents.  The plant looks like crabs' claws.  The flower reminds me of a passionfruit flower.  That was why I couldn't believe my eyes - my plan is to plant a passionfruit vine in this spot next Spring.

To my great joy, Steve was as excited as me, and wants to paint it.

And, going into Edna Walling mode again, this is why you should always handwater your garden.  So many treasures to discover.
