ColorChallenge Wednesday Yellow - Yellow Flowering Cold Hardy Cactus
I got up today and saw that the #colorchallenge was yellow today. I had looked around for a good part of the day trying to decide what on earth I wanted to share with you today that was yellow.
Well, low and behold, I inspected this cactus yesterday and there were no blooms, just buds. At some point today, voila, YELLOW BLOOM. I had no idea what color the blooms were going to be. This big tub of cactus came with the house and this is the first time I'm seeing it bloom.
I was lucky enough to get a little native bee getting some nectar from it also. Awe.
I was trying to pull away some of those grasses from the shot but ended up poking myself about a bajillion times. rolls eyes Of course I would. I am loving this time of year on the homestead. Since we purchased the property in December, we really had no idea the type of plants and flowers we had. Things are starting to bloom, finally, it's like a little present from nature, every day.
You can check out the ColorChallenge on the @colorchallenge blog. :D

Get yours here!
Beautiful! And to think that planter could have easily been mistaken for a dead plant by an untrained eye. Great job. It's great to see another young homesteader on here!
Ha! You're right, it definitely does look like it could be a dead something or other. Wouldn't surprise me. Hahaha.
Thanks for stopping by! I will have to go check you out!
HEY. I am in PNW too! Central Oregon!
Whaaaat Another PNW girl! yessssss.
Yes please do! I just joined the other day, and I'm hoping it's worth the time I plan on putting into it!
How long have you been on Steemit?
Today marks my 7th day! I can make my first "withdraw" or whatever today. After I do that, I think I will make a post talking about my first week, and then I can go over to FB and share my experiences.
Do you do the steem chat or whatever?
I think that's a good idea. I will keep an eye out for your post! (:
Steem chat has been down since HF19! Haha I was using it but I recently joined these guys https://steemit.com/steemit/@sflaherty/get-your-articles-on-steemit-blogger-central-now-share-your-links-on-this-post-and-we-will-post-tonight-link-dump
The joining link is at the very bottom of the post. For a chat service thing called SLACK. I really like the small community so far.
Oh interesting, I will check it out. I never looked into the steem chat, only seen it on the intro to this site! Thank you for the recommendation!
Please come on over! I had them make a homesteading category chat area just for people like us! :D
I love that big closeup with the bee.
Thanks!! I was really surprised to see this flower this morning. It actually startled me a little! Ha
