not the one with the green thumb or the tech head around here.

Someone in my house grew this - holy mackerel it's ay-mazing! The cactus itself is about as tall as my shin, and the flower is as large as my palm.

The last cactus I ever grew literally snapped in half - the top half fell off and yet someone else managed to resurrect it.

Unfortunately, you can't appreciate it in all its glory, because my mac refuses to save the re-orientation of any photo, but reverts to whatever the camera took it as. Usually I email my photos to work, re-orient and save them and then email them back again. But today I just can't be bothered.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Because seriously, my little white friend here is cruising for a bruising and, if I don't figure it out, will be more cactus than this picture.

Hey Em. If you're on a mac, this is what I would do. Open the photo in Preview or whatever, flip it round until it's right way up, take a screen shot of the photo (apple-shift-4) and then save that. Hope that works. Gorgeous flower! Does it smell pretty as well?

Oh sneaky Miss Hannah! Screen shot of course! Didn't think of that. Will promptly try it.

No, it doesn't smell at all. =(
