The [Cactus Cam](/projects/cactus-cam/) project has begun to bear fruit. My cactus produced its first flower last night. I'm so proud! <a href="https://d1js6qm6cshi0v.cloudfront.net/oldblog/2007-05-14-first-flower/987365035_dff5a152e1_o_d.jpg" target="_blank" class="flickr-image" title="CIMG3380.JPG">

The little guy tried his best to make it for Sunday, which was Mother's Day in the US and my -5 month wedding anniversary, but he just couldn't quite get it open. I'm going to have to explain to the little guy that he's being filmed, and that it would be helpful if he wouldn't flower **_at night_**!!

My elderly Powerbook that is acting as camera man has been a little flaky these past few weeks. Occasionally, he just stops taking pictures. But yesterday, he caught a timelapse of the entire day.
