I am getting better at taking care of cactus plants. This is Tiger Jaw Cactus. It tried to die while it was growing beautifully two summers ago. I thought in summer, it's okay to water it, especially the sun heats the patio door close to 105'F at least during summer. But it showed the sign of rot. I quickly pinched off the top groups of new petals and replanted it. Fortunately that saved the plant. Now I have three pots of them growing happily. To my surprise, they even flowered. I think it is very rewarding when the cactus flowers. You never know if they will flower or when.
