Thank you, Bob. @bobbyball

This #peruvian-apple split revealing its many seeds. E is going to grow them for more tiny #cactus. #cereusrepandus #southerncalifornia 11 November 2020

Wow never seen one of those ❤️

Are these edible?

They are! Really sweet, sort of dry but sweeter than dragon fruit. I planted the seeds and have babies sprouting now. https://youtu.be/alDzJ76WC6s

The YouTube link https://youtu.be/alDzJ76WC6s is me cutting my #peruvian-apple and you can see the babies in my feed ☺️ @juliesgarden @KariSamuel @gjones

@fearlessthereforepowerful - Thank you!

Pretty aren't they @juliesgarden?!

Yes, @KariSamuel and @gjones, just like @fearlessthereforepowerful said. Thank you, Christine. I think textured like dry watermelon. I have sprouted some before. They are too cute.

Oh! Perfect description!

Thank you @fearlessthereforepowerful 💕

So in a smoothie or a cocktail 🍸 with rum or vodka? 😋 @lovestogarden @fearlessthereforepowerful @gjones

😂 @KariSamuel

Thank you! @ShelleySnyder @cyndi @sushiwaitress @lesliecole49 @godfreye @Susanandsteve @gjones @petitelake 💗

Absolutely my pleasure Janice!💘😍

It burst open today! This is the peeled fruit. The #sparkles are lovely. It is more about texture than flavor. Very subtle, but fun like chewing poppy seeds with watermelon texture. #cactus #cereus #cereusperuvianus #cereusrepandus #southerncalifornia 24 September 2019

I had no idea that was what the fruit looked like inside. How interesting.

@robbinb it is interesting. 😎

Katy, it is not really juicy, but almost a cucumber moist. 💗 @gjones

How interesting, never seen anything like it 😊 This is why the GT app is so good! Thanks for sharing 👍

I agree, @anges. The variety of plants we see is fantastic! Thanks, @teamgardentags! 💞

I planted some seeds from the fruit on 05 October 2019

The "apples" are turning color nicely. #firstfruit #firstfruitever #cereus #cereusperuvianus #cereusrepandus #succulentsunday #cactus #southerncalifornia 22 September 2019

This isn't related but, don't you think it's rude (not you 😊) when you identify someones plant and they don't even take the time to send a thank you. Some people! ❤❤

Beautiful Apple Cactus 🌵 YES! I’m on this App more than Facebook now! 😂 I absolutely love, love all the different plants, people and cultures of gardening and ways of planting different and exotics !

Me too. Facebook?🤔 What's that? 😂 I have learned so much on this app. It is incredible. Also, I have met such nice people from all over the world. 💗 @dinaautore

Yes, Katy. I am interested to see what it tastes like. It is a little smaller than my fist. @gjones

I agree, Laura. And they are really watery inside too. They really know how to use their moisture. @columbiariver ❤️

The #firstfruit on this #Cereus repandus. Each has a little tail. 😂 #cereusperuvianus #peruvian-apple #cereusrepandus #cactus #southerncalifornia 10 August 2019

Yes. I have never had one before, but apparently they commercially grow them in some areas. Katie, I am excited to try one. @gjones

Katie, I will! @gjones

A bit of a jungle right now, but the #cactus is putting on a show for #julyblooms. #hibiscus #kalanchoe-copperspoons #cereusperuvianus #copperspoons #succulent #southerncalifornia 20 July 2019

I immediately saw the Copper Spoons. What zone are you in to leave him outside?

I just saw 10a in your profile. I’m in 6a, but I need to put mine out for the summers. Your garden is lovely.

It looks so good! It’s perfect there. The way it blooms, you couldn’t put it in a better spot. It turned out great👍🏻🤗😊💕

Wow! Incredible blooms 😍🌵💚

Such beauty...thanks for sharing

Thank you, Laura. I plant by the whim of the moment, and sometimes it works out. 🤪😂😂 @columbiariver

@janetandjim - Janet, I have sunburns on some of the leaves of the Copper Spoon, but it seems really happy there. I live in So. Cal, so my weather keeps me from having the hard work you all do who live in such harsh climates. Thank you so much for you compliment. 💞

@terrimclaughlin - We call this serendipity, Terri. 😂 I plant by the whim and sometimes it works great. 😂 I really like the cactus perfectly linded up. 💞

@kez001uk - kerry, thank you. 💞

@mardel - Maribel, thank you. And thank you for enjoying with me. 💞

Cute name! And this was turned out nice!!🙂😃😊💕

This is gorgeous Janice! 😍💛💚

WARNING! Maggie, they are very addictive! Like Lay's potato chips, you can't just have on. 🤯😂 Pace yourself. 😂 @gardengirlla

@mich , thank you. 💗

It is a big one, bit not long lasting. 😁 @gjones

Gorgeous 😍😍

Happy to be home this time to see them. ❤ #cactus #cactusflower #white #cereus #cereusperuvianus 8 June 2018

Thank you, Laura. I will tell my friend. ❤ @columbiariver

...and more to bloom; seven in all. #cactus #succulent #bud #cereus #cereusrepandus #flowerbud #firstflower

Right before I left today, I got to see this beautiful bloom. I am so pleased to enjoy this sight. #cactus #succulent #blooming #whiteflower #cereusperuvianus #cereus #cereusrepandus #first-flower

@lovestogarden ahhh you were lucky 🍀 and it’s definitely a stunner. 😊🙏🏼👍🏼

I cant wait for my cactus to have its 85 flowers bloom

Yes! @pixierose

Dyllan, 85?!!! Wow! That is going to be some photo. Amazing. @Doomsdoor

Dyllan, 85?!!! Wow! That is going to be some photo. Amazing. @Doomsdoor

The line of #blooms is amazing. #succulent #cactus #Cereus repandus

Yes, @KelsiBriana , thank you. I love how these two #succulents look together. 💗

Cacti bloom ? I have moon cactus grafted to something similar like this will hope it flowers for me .

lots of copper spoons nice. my prickly pear cactus has over 50 buds forming on it

Yes, @mardel. They can have amazing blossoms. Some are huge and only last one night and are pollinated by moths. Others close at night, only to open again with the sunshine for weeks. I believe the moon cactus may bloom, but I am not sure of the other.

Wow, @Doomsdoor , that is a whole lot of flowers. You will be able to make jelly with all the tunas they produce.

The top view. #succulent #cactus #Cereus repandus

Realized I did not have this one logged in. #cactus #succulent Not sure this is the correct id. Is this Cereus repandus @cactiluke ?

Certainly a Cereus @lovestogarden

Thank you! @cactiluke

Oh that’s amazing 😉
