Epiphyllum flower buds

This cactus was nearly completely denuded by some type of illness that made most of the sections become brown and crispy. I removed the dead parts, which was most of the cactus. One of the few remaining sections looks like it might bloom. Does it have the energy?

Tomatoes are starting to set fruit. Here is Lemon Boy with a marble sized fruit. The figs are also producing embryonic figs that I expect to harvest in late fall. here is Hardy Chicago. This tree is 3 feet tall and in it's 2nd year. An early producer.

opuntia flower

Here is a better photo. Apparently the flowers last only one day., then change color to orange and fold up. Will there be edible fruit?

They like the crocosmia more than any other flower in the yard.
