See the thick plant to the left of the blooms - that's a euphorbia and is not the plant associated with these flowers. They come from those skinny, thin pads you see on the right. I don't know how they hold them up.
Here you can see how they are attached to their thin scalloped stems.

Angie,
ReplyDeleteI love your early morning bloomers!! What a glorious flower! Our tall cactus (not sure of name)by the driveway, had several large white blooms open this morning, but the weight was too much for a couple stalks. They broke off and fell over. Sadly! Yet the booms continue to look wonderful! Frank would know the answer to that.
Thanks for the posting.
Hugs,
Deanna
