    Las flores del cactus son muy hermosas, lástima que sean tan efímeras.

    These are quite lovely. My Sister grows similar varieties. When they finish flowering she leaves the old flowers in place and quite some months later small fruits form which are quite delicious and refreshing to eat :D)
