For weeks, my mother has pointed out into the back yard and asked, "What's that red thing way out there?" Each time she asks, I always respond the same way, "It's a beautiful big red flower. It's called a cactus dahlia."Today, after doing some prep work in the yard for winter, I finally clipped the bloom and presented it to her. She was all smiles, hopped up out of her chair, and filled a fancy glass with water to place it in. It now adorns the end table where she'll be able to enjoy it. I hope it lasts a long time!
